When the sad day comes to put all the Outdoor decorations away until the next Holiday season,
we want to make sure that things are put away in an organized manner so that next year, we are not left
untangling- literally- a mess.
A few years ago my nephew came to take down my decorations. I'll forget never how he left a huge ball of lights by my front door!
See below for ways to ensure you put your outdoor decorations away properly.
Please post any tricks and hacks that you have developed over the years.

Outdoor Christmas Decor:
Clear plastic storage boxes with tight-fitting lids are one of the best options. They'll keep out dust and moisture and allow you to see what's inside. Larger porch and yard decorations are often safest if they're left out and placed in a safe corner of your garage or storage shed.
Many people simply store large Christmas items in their garage. I remember going into my parent's garage and there would be several reindeer simply waiting for the next holiday season to go outside.
Although outdoor decorations are built to withstand the elements, it is still a good practice to protect them when they are not on display.
