Christmas is busy, fun, exciting Authentic Jalen Ramsey Jersey , and sentimental. We love it all -- all but the part when we have to clean up and put everything away.


6. Wrap Christmas Ornaments Properly - Ornaments should be individually wrapped in white tissue paper or where greater protection is needed Authentic Nick Foles Jersey , wrap in bubble wrap. Since most ornaments are lightweight they can be stored in large boxes. If you still have the original boxes the ornaments came in, then store them in these and then place them in the storage container.


7. Protect Christmas Decorations from Moisture - If you live in a humid climate using plastic containers may not be enough to protect from moisture. Place packets of silica gel in each container to avoid damage from humidity. Silica gel can be purchased at arts and craft stores. If you cannot find individual packets, you can make your own by wrapping several tablespoons of silica gel in white tissue paper and securing with tape. Several packets should be placed throughout the box.


8. Guard Against Temperature Extremes - Delicate decorations such as ornaments made with photos or wax can be temperature sensitive. Store them in a climate-controlled area or they could deteriorate Authentic DJ Chark Jersey , melt or stick together.


9. Avoid Box Identity Loss - Attach a red ribbon or tag to each Christmas storage box. This will make them easy to identify next Christmas if they have been stored with other boxes unrelated to Christmas decorations.


10. Toss the Trash - Some people have a tendency to just 聯hang onto stuff聰 in hopes that they聮ll find a use for it later. Don聮t waste space by holding onto old ornaments you know you聮ll never use again (unless of course it has some sentimental significance). Just toss out the trash.


A final note: You may also want to consider Christmas ornament boxes and wreath boxes for especially fine ornaments and wreaths instead of clear storage containers. They are available in stores and on the Internet. They are very convenient and some are even acid free for even greater protection for your fine collectables. They are more expensive, but for high quality, valuable ornaments this may be a worthwhile investment.


A little organization today will make you feel like a Christmas decorating pro next year. Happy un-decorating!
