Every year we accumulate more and more Christmas ornaments. Sometimes we get them as gifts and sometimes we buy them. Once we had children we began the annual tradition of making ornaments to commemorate the events of that year. As we unpack the ornaments and add them and the new ornaments to the tree, we stand back and admire the beauty of the tree.
At the end of the season, we are always amazed to find our ornament collection appears to have increased astronomically. We can't get them back into the same boxes we had used the year before, thus leading to another annual tradition: searching for the perfect Christmas ornament storage solution.
You can buy ornament boxes that help make storing your ornaments easy and also help protect the ornaments. Buy plenty of boxes because most fragile and special ornaments need plenty of space if you want to avoid breaking or damaging them.
What we have decided is that, the easiest way to start with ornament storage is by packing all of the fragile items together and storing them in a safe place so we don't have to worry about them ending up at the bottom of a bunch of heavy boxes.
We also suggest that, if you have more than one tree, that you purchase Christmas ornament storage boxes for each tree and label them accordingly. That way, if you are in a hurry and can only get one tree done you don't waste time searching for the ornaments that go with that particular tree.
One final tip: Don't forget to label all of your storage boxes clearly with location and type of ornament. Labeling only takes a minute and will make finding, using, and packing away your ornaments next year a lot easier. Of course, Christmas ornament storage is just half the battle. Now you have to think about Christmas storage for all of your other Christmas decorations.
Are you spending too much time packing away your Christmas decorations? I was too, until I took some time to explore my options. If you want to know what I learned about Christmas storage, head over to my blog at http://www.AlmostChristmas.info.
