Since I pulled out my fall decorations today I figured I'd share how I store holiday items. My sweet husband bought me one of these storage containers from Home Depot a few years back. I LOVE it (we have another and I'd eventually love to have about 4 total in the garage). I love having stuff BEHIND closet doors, it all is just so much neater that way.
And here is the inside. I had just started putting my every day decor on the shelf where my fall decor is most of the year. The bottom 3 shelves are Christmas items, with the second shelf also holding our Passover items (just a small bags worth, a stuffed lamb, a wooden cross etc). It doesn't look like much room, but you'd be amazed how much is stuffed in there. And I've had to limit decorations,so if it doesn't fit in the closet it has to go. This stops me from buying new stuff each year, and with Christmas especially it made me stop and decide if the decorations where meaningful and Christ honoring, and we donated TONS of stuff. I'd rather have a few beautiful meaningful decorations than a ton of cheap worthless items.
That is a smart idea. I wish I could get the self control to curtail my Christmas decorating!! I have a sentimental attachment to everything, but did finally get rid of some less than great looking fake flowers last year. Having only a limited space is a good idea. I think we buy a new rubbermaid almost every year - although it could be to hold hubby's new Christmas lights!!
