Decoration Storage
After the family traditions and gift giving surrounding Christmas, when it is all over the time comes when the decorations need to come down and stored away. Just tossing light strings and ornaments into box and hiding them in a closet may sound like a great idea, but who wants to waste time untangling the mess next Christmas?
A box does make Christmas storage easy if done in an orderly manner. A cardboard slat works great for winding small stringed lights, or for separating ornaments.
