It may be July, but now is a great time for organizing your holiday decorations. During the leisurely days of summer, take a few hours or a few days to pull out all the Christmas decorations and trimmings and reorganize them so they’ll be easier to find and use this coming holiday season.
When organizing holiday decorations, it’s usually best to group items by type. That is, Christmas lights should go in one box, ornaments in another, and so on. Take time to consider the way you’re storing each group of items. Wadding up your Christmas lights into one big ball probably isn’t the best storage method. And ornaments should be treated with care and packed accordingly so they don’t get damaged or broken while in storage.
For most people, the most expensive holiday decorating item is their artificial Christmas tree. One of the worst ways to store your artificial tree is in its original box. Not only are trees difficult to fit back into the original box, but the boxes are usually made of thin cardboard that breaks down easily, lets dust and dirt get in, and can also potentially attract insects. A better storage container for your tree (and any other holiday decorations, for that matter) would be any kind of specially designed container or bag that’s meant to be used year after year.
