It\u2019s an amazing thing.\u00a0 On the days leading up to Christmas, I just can\u2019t imagine feeling ready to take it all down.\u00a0 And every, single year\u2026a few days after Christmas\u2026I start getting the itch to refresh, restyle, and get the hard work of organizing it all for next year done!\u00a0 Sometimes it doesn\u2019t happen until after New Year\u2019s, especially on the years where we are celebrating Christmas with extended family over the New Year\u2019s weekend (does that even make sense?!\u00a0 Christmas vacation brain over here!\u00a0 Ha!)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Disclaimer: if I were home all the time, I would absolutely leave it all up until after New Year\u2019s.\u00a0 Since I teach full time, it\u2019s really important to me to try and set our family up for a successful and smooth transition back into the school routine.\u00a0 Something about coming home to a simplified, clean home, makes those first days back a lot easier!<\/p>\n

All that being said, our family worked together this year to get the Christmas d\u00e9cor taken down, organized, and stored away.\u00a0 Every year, a few more memories pack themselves into those totes and into our hearts!<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t have a fancy system or any revolutionary storage solutions.\u00a0 But we do have practical methods that we have worked hard to streamline over the past couple of years.\u00a0 Any kind of storage and organization really depends a lot on the space and items you\u2019re working with.\u00a0 I\u2019ll share some general tips and ideas that work for us!<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Step 1″ _builder_version=”4.7.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px”]<\/p>\n

Step One:<\/h4>\n

Gather all Christmas d\u00e9cor into one central place.\u00a0 Our long, farmhouse table works great.\u00a0 Organize d\u00e9cor into groupings of like items.<\/p>\n

Step Two:<\/h4>\n

Anything that you didn\u2019t use this year or don\u2019t want to keep, set aside into a donate pile!<\/p>\n

Step Three:<\/h4>\n

Put small items into Ziploc bags<\/a><\/strong><\/span> to keep them together.\u00a0 For example, my miniature stockings, bottle brush trees, and small nutcrackers go into Ziplocs!<\/p>\n

Step Four:<\/h4>\n

Pack items into totes.\u00a0 After using many different ones over the years, we have found these<\/a><\/strong><\/span> to be the most durable.\u00a0 They also stack easily and that helps keep our attic (a little more) organized!<\/p>\n

Here are some ways I sort and pack items:<\/p>\n
