If it snows in January, I allow myself a belated White Christmas (it usually only rains during Cincinnati Decembers). <br /><br />Only once the weather warms up am I truly ready to move on from Christmas decorations - I SO enjoy seeing them. (This year I'm considering hosting a "Christmas on Valentines Day" gathering, since I missed Christmas party season this year, thanks to an energy-depleting head cold that refused to let go).<br /><br />Pinning your system to my "Holiday Plans, Org & Storage", however - currently, I am the "before" to your "after." I never really understood the "put it all on a table" concept until you clearly stated the reason: organize by tub & don't bring them all up at the same time!

It's so much quicker to take down the decorations than put them up and the house feels so clean and clutter free when I'm done. Ours are still up because we were in Europe over Christmas/New Year's and we're just celebrating now. I'm sure by next weekend, I'll be ready to take it all down!! Hope you had a great holiday!Heather{Our Life In a Click}https://www.blogger.com/profile/09060166017198564022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977307823050840802.post-41832192430757905722014-12-31T17:24:44.941-05:002014-12-31T17:24:44.941-05:00Now that's a good idea!

Then I can do what you did! ;)Donnamaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13978668649808777994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977307823050840802.post-49448817991622287042014-12-31T17:03:30.134-05:002014-12-31T17:03:30.134-05:00Mine are all put away: in fact, last night I re-or...Mine are all put away: in fact, last night I re-organized the boxes. We don't use/have that many decorations, and this year only had a small tree, so it's not too much of an ordeal! But, we have no attic or basement…so the challenge is to store everything in the one big closet upstairs. I actually did reorganize that too, last night, and in the process am giving away some clothes I didn't even know were there.
