Organizing Holiday Decorations
What do you do with all those Thanksgiving, Christmas decorations, Halloween ghost and goblins, Easter baskets, New Years Eve and 4th of July decorations? They can take up a lot of storage space (especially Christmas if you are anything like me).
Stores are gearing up and selling a lot more decorations for all holidays and it is easy to jump into the decorating phase. I saw a house this Halloween that had more decorations and blow up characters and lights than you usually see at Christmas.
You need to make sure you have the room to store them before you buy them!
I suggest that you look for the clear colored containers they have out for that holiday. I think these are great!! I can go down and immediately find my Halloween decorations because they are the ones in the orange and black (clear orange) containers. Of course they are still labeled..but it makes it so easy. My Easter containers are pink and Christmas is red and green. I recommend the clear over the solid bins! So if you can’t find the colored clear ones, then just get clear. Being able to see what is in the at a glance is time saving!
Remember, before you buy anymore decoration, make sure you have the room to store them.
Try to find clear colored bins to store each separate holiday in.
Label them with what is in them.
Next year you will find that getting out decorations will be much easier.
