Last-Minute Thrifty Holiday Decorations

It’s the week of Christmas, are your holiday decorations sparkling in the windows? Everyone decorates for the holidays differently.

Whether you’re scrambling to get all decorations up or looking for that last final touch to your winter wonderland, we’ve got you covered at VOA Thrift. Stop by this week to find decorations big and small, sparkly and classic, or over the top.
