As I write this post, there are currently 78 days, 2 hours, 22 minutes, and 07 seconds until Christmas

(Not that I’m counting or anything…)

In my ever-evolving effort to have an organized, stress-free Christmas, I am starting a series that I am so excited to share with you all: 4 Weeks to an Organized Christmas.

I’ll be honest – I need this series just as much as the next person.  It’s why I’m writing it – then I have to be organized, right?

During this first week we’ll be all about getting our Christmas decorations organized.  

Did you get on with your organized self last year and your decorations are already perfectly labeled and containered? Sweet!  Put up your feet and leave a comment with your best tips please!

If you did not, no worries – this week is for you (and me!).  To start, here our a few ideas to inspire you:

Need to organize your wrapping paper?  

Try this Under the Bed Wrapping Station.

 Are your Christmas lights in disarray?

Why not wrap your Christmas lights around cardboard?

 Here’s another idea that I love for getting my wrapping paper organized: 

Store Wrapping paper in bins.

 Do you have a gazillion gift bags – like me?

I love this clever way to organize gift bags.

 Wait!  Don’t throw out that egg carton!

Use it to store your Christmas tree ornaments.

Stay tuned for tomorrow when it gets REAL around here.  I’m going to unveil the state of my current ‘organizational system’ for my Christmas supplies.

It ain’t pretty, folks.

Promise me that you’ll love me anyway?

    I have three 9 foot pencil faux trees in my home. Each tree is labeled at its base with 1, 2, or 3. The ornaments that go on each tree are in a plastic holiday red/green tote and labeled on the outside 1, 2, or 3. For some reason the one tree is a little fuller than the other two and takes more ornaments – all the more to label the tote with the right tree. So when the trees and totes are coming from the basement each tree/tote go in one of the designated rooms. Easy to decorate and when taking down! Hope this helps those who need a little more organization or might like this idea to try. I’m always seeking better ways of being organized.
