I use colored tubs for each holiday as well...but I learned the hard way NOT to use the large ones with wheels...we had a flood one year and water seeped in...yuck! Now I keep the totes in the basement on heavy duty shelving from Loews. I also number them and try to keep a detailed list of what is in each - some years I am better at this than others. One thing I can't live without is my OPEN FIRST Christmas tub...this one has my Christmas tote bag, purse and wallet and other things that I want very early or just prior to the season. I start changing over the bed and bath linens just before Thanksgiving, so these are always in low numbered tubs.
I keep my wreaths in wreath boxes - bought on sale 75% off after Christmas one year. they are not the heavy duty plastic kind...more of a treated corrugated cardboard from the Container Store. it keeps the dust off. My mom always hung hers up in the garage (in trash bags) She used Sharpie markers to label the bags.
