Follow me on:

It's a time that comes every year--time to put away all the Christmas decorations and say "goodbye" to this special holiday season. You'll first have to decide which pieces you're ready to get rid of and which you'll save. Then you'll need to organize what you are going to keep.

Our article will give you some helpful ideas on ways to get things organized and put away carefully for next year. There are all sorts of great storage pieces available, like these wreath boxes.

As my company, Re$ale Design & Home Staging, also does seasonal decorating – we have a good deal of decor items to pack away right now. These are good organizational tips.
We wrap the twinkle lights around folded paper grocery bags or cardboard – starting with the female end. That way the male plug is on the outside layer & we can easily check the strand before using.

Great idea! It’s definitely disappointingt o get all the lights on the tree only to discover that one of the strands doesn’t work!
