We store all of our holiday decor in labeled containers in the garage and pull them out when it&#8217;s time to decorate. I always make sure the house has had a good cleaning\/dusting before setting out our decorations. Then, when the holiday is over all of the decorations go right back into their container! Inevitably, we end up with a bit more decor every year and have to buy another container, but it&#8217;s worth it to keep things organized!<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><em><strong>Heather Shaw<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><em><strong><em><strong>Blogger and Entrepreneur\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong><em>Mother of 2<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><em><strong><a title=\"asouthernmom\" href=\"http:\/\/www.asouthernmom.com\/\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">\u00a0<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">http:\/\/www.asouthernmom.com\/<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><em><strong>My best tip for getting organized for the holidays starts the year before when I&#8217;m packing for the holidays. Our family celebrates many religious traditions for Advent, before Christmas. So, when I am packing up decor from the year before I put things in boxes in the order they will be used the next year. The advent wreath comes out first, and all of our stuff we use the first couple of weeks of Advent are packed together (i.e., the Advent wreath isn&#8217;t packed with other wreaths.) We do our Christmas tree on Gaudete Sunday (3rd Sunday of Advent) so ornaments and tree stuff are packed together in a box. We put up stockings on the 4th Sunday before Christmas, so those are packed in the bottom so they will be the last out of the box. I use different apps on my phone to track gifts we&#8217;ve bought for the kids, and I use the Amazon Wish List feature to keep track of things the kids want throughout the year. I made a Pinterest board for myself called Husband Buy Me This for my own &#8220;wish list&#8221;. I love using Pinterest for this because I can add the price and link to the store where he can purchase it, so he doesn&#8217;t have to go on a scavenger hunt. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/milehimama\/husband-buy-me-this\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/milehimama\/husband-buy-me-this\/<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><em><strong>Lisa Stauber<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><em><strong>Co-founder Blog Elevated Conference<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><em><strong>Mom of 10 <\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><em><strong><a title=\"milehimama\" href=\"http:\/\/milehimama.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">http:\/\/milehimama.com<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em><strong>I start planning at least a month in advance.
