You may take pride in decking your own halls for the holidays, but take care to tone it down if you’re trying to sell your home this holiday season. As with any time you’re staging your place to look its best for potential buyers, you want to reduce clutter and depersonalize your decor as much as possible so they can envision themselves living there, not peer into how you live. Holiday decorations — especially kitschy or overtly religious ones — are the most personal decorations of all. Just take it easy this year and remind yourself: if you can sell your place quickly for a good price, that’s the best gift of all.
