The holiday season is always my favorite time of the year— We love all the glitter and lights and garlands. But the house always feels a little extra boring once I take all that down.

our usual CHRISTMAS storage is basically a giant tub with all the items thrown in more or less, but since I added a little more to my Christmas stash this year, we thought it would be a good time to get a little more organized with my decorations.

Here are some easy tips to make packing (and then unpacking!) your holiday decor a breeze!

How to Store Ornaments:

For items like ornaments, use a segmented storage option where there are lots of little compartments to keep your ornaments separate and safe during storage.

Standard size ornaments can go in a acrylic container. You can also put more than one smaller ornament into a segment if they will fit—just make sure to not put two breakable ones in together unless they are both wrapped in paper or bubble wrap to protect them.

Keep Everything Organized With Labels:

I really can’t say enough for labeling! I’ve used this label for my kitchen, bathroom, office, and storage room. It’s so helpful to have a clear label on boxes, containers, or tubs so I can easily find what I’m looking for without digging around.
