Packing away the Christmas decorations

[Alanamackree]

Do you have a system? Or any good tips?

I used less than usual this year so I’m going to do a good declutter before I attempt to organize what’s left.

I had a look for tips online but other people must live in mansions with handy coat racks in their attics for hanging wreaths and a selection of “clean dustbins” for storing garlands. I love how labeling a box can count as a “hack”

I do try and organize my boxes so that the bare essentials of Christmas can be grabbed from the front in case we are all struck down by plague in December voice of experience

Oh Biddy I’m deeply jealous of your Dunnes boxes. I think I saw those a couple of years ago, or certainly similar sounding ones but I couldn’t justify was too mean the cost

I love those SAMLA boxes too but the big ones won’t fit through my attic hatch. I’ve tried having the conversation with dh about the need to convert our attic/ install a dummy waiter but he doesn’t get it

Alan, I bought one about 7/8 years ago, and really thought I was cracked as I paid. But it was so good that I bought another when I saw them again about 3/4 years ago (my collection had grown just ever so slightly )
