I know you probably just finished pulling out all your holiday decorations, but it’s not too early to start thinking about how you’re going to put it all away. If you’re like me, every year you tell yourself “this year I will be super organized when I put my holiday decorations away!” Also, if you’re like me, by the time the holidays are over you are exhausted and just want to get the stuff put away as quickly as possible. Then you go to pull it out the following year and you say,” this year…I will organize it all this year.” Sigh. Part of the problem is figuring out how to organize everything. There are lots of holiday storage containers and bags and bins and boxes for sale out there, but that can get expensive! And let’s face it, just after the gift giving season, the last thing you want to do is spend more money. But it is possible to organize your holiday decorations without breaking the bank. Here are some holiday storage hacks to help you get organized this year:
Do you eat eggs? That may seem like more of an Easter question, but stay with me here. It’s not the eggs you need, it’s the cartons they come in. They are perfect for storing small, round ornaments.
Keep strings of lights from tangling with this easy hack – wrap them around cardboard before storing them. You can use shoe boxes or any of the many boxes that were likely delivered to your house before December 25 to cut pieces to size for your light strings. Then place them all together in a bin where they will remain safely untangled until next year!
Hang your wreaths year around. Keep your holiday wreaths in pristine condition by hanging them rather than putting them in a storage bin, where they are likely to get crushed. If you don’t have room in a closet, you can use an inexpensive portable coat rack. Cover the wreaths with plastic trash bags (garment back style) and hang them on the rack.
Turn bins you already have into ornament storage bins with this easy and inexpensive hack. Three words. Red. Solo. Cups. They aren’t just for parties! With cardboard, a glue gun and cups you can create a DIY ornament storage bin. Just glue the cups to cardboard pieces cut to fit and place them in the bin and, voila! You have the perfect place to safely keep your holiday treasures! Safe Ornament Storage
Shiny beads make a beautiful garland for your tree, but when they are all tangled up in a box you may decide it’s not even worth it to try to untangle them. This year, save up your plastic water bottles and use them to store your garland. They will stay untangled and be easy to pull our when you’re ready to put them on the tree again.
Save yourself a lot of work NEXT year by organizing all your Christmas decorations when you put them away THIS year! You will be happy you did!

SOLD! What a relief! Your house is sold and soon you will be moving out. Pride in ownership means that you will likely want to leave your house in good shape for its new owners.

But the language can often be vague. Here is a list of cleaning tips for home sellers to help you leave the house reasonably clean and to create a feeling of goodwill toward your buyer:
Cleaning the Interior of the Home Before Moving Out:
