This is a holiday. With all the noise and joy, it may bring some crazy pressure. Where did you store your Christmas ornaments last year? Why are the lights so tangled when you take them out of the warehouse?

do not worry. We have provided four useful holiday tips and tips to help you feel organized and calm during this holiday. 

Tired of broken and disorganized decorations? This year, use a system to store your decorations. All you need is a plastic storage basin, some red Solo cups and a piece of cardboard to separate the layers. Store your decorations in the cup to keep things organized and prevent damage. For small decorations, consider using a small egg box to store fragile decorations.

Every year you take out the Christmas lights, there is no doubt that it looks like a big and tangled mess. When you go to store your lights this year, hang them on a hanger. Or wrap them in an empty paper towel tube. This will keep your lights in order next year. 

Feel guilty about throwing away all the used wrapping paper on Christmas morning? This year, use a paper shredder to dispose of your used paper and pack it for next year’s gift bags or mailing boxes.
