I don't know about you, but by the end of December I am so sick of seeing Christmas decorations that I'm tempted just shove everything in a closet (don't even worry about taking ornaments off the tree), close the door, and forget about it until next year. However, I don't have a closet large enough and shoving items in boxes always leaves me with a tangled mess and broken ornaments. While these Christmas storage hacks may seem time consuming, I promise that your will be thankful you did them when you pull all the decorations out again next year.
