All those fiddly boxes - don't worry, next year you can re-use it and it will be ready to go when you open the big box.

Remember what goes in what number box! We never thought of that, flattened the boxes (easier to store), popped the items in a bag and thought nothing more till last year. Ended up shoving things in boxes that looked about right. Think our birds had nothing to sit on till christmas eve!
