Store Your Christmas Decorations
It\’s the annual holiday decorating headache: untangling the lights and garlands, sorting through damaged ornaments, wrangling the wrapping paper. Ugh. Well, no more! The hassle ends this season once you organize everything as you put it all away. You can buy plastic wreath boxes and special reels for Christmas lights, but they\’re not necessary if you use a little ingenuity and some stuff you probably have around the house right now.

If you buy fruit at a wholesale club, you\’ve probably got at least a couple of plastic bubble packs on hand. They can protect delicate ornaments just as well as they once protected your apples and pears.

Empty Water Bottles for Garlands
Feed beaded garlands into an empty water bottle. The beads coil themselves neatly and come out with nary a snarl nor a tangle when you\’re ready to use them again.

Hangers and Elastics for Wreaths
Slide a hanger into each side of a wreath\’s frame, and then use a rubber band or hair elastic to attach the top of the wreath to the top of the hanger. Voila! The wreath can just hang around until next year.
