I'm a lot older than you and I do 7-8 trees. Three full size and One is a 12 footer. I decorate every table, bookcase and hutch. It takes me about ten days. I have so many boxes! I use a lot of the same tricks you use. One thing I try to do when I take the ornaments off trees is use a used dryer sheet to wipe the ornaments. I didn't do it this year. I'll be sorry in November. I just love Christmas!

I like that idea a lot, Jeannie. I tend to decorate differently every year due to new decor and general boredom, I guess.

Great idea! I'm always just stuffing odd items in garbage bags. I will have to go grab some of those longer storage bins.

Great job! I use the long flat storage bins for my signs. Special signs, I wrap in bubble wrap-

Love the idea of labeling each box!! I have about 12 boxes (free from my husbands work) a little bit bigger than what typing paper comes in. This year I only opened 4 of them. Two boxes are tree ornaments only – 12 ft. tree and my Hallmark tree. Thanks for your tips. Here it is Jan. 4 and I haven't put one thing away, well I did put my Christmas dishes away yesterday.

Since I decorate rooms by color all mine are in boxes by room/color. I did get rid of a lot when we moved this past summer.

This is a great method! I couldn't even find half of our decorations this year! I was so sad! I need to invest in big tubs like this with the cards. Thanks!!

My parents got one of those giant Sterilite bins for Christmas stuff, but were never this organized about it! Everything was always shoved into it in whatever manner it would fit. It did make for a fun time going through everything, as we could never remember what was what or where it was!

Organization is key, as well as storing like items together. An organized life is a happy life. Happy New Year!
