Tip: Christmas Box Staging Area

Yesterday we packed up the Christmas decorations. This involves three general steps:

  • Bring out the empty boxes from storage
  • Pack the boxes with Christmas decorations
  • Put the filled boxes back into storage

The problem with these steps is that we always manage to forget a few items, which requires bringing back out all of the boxes.

This year I’ve finally learned my lesson and adjusted the steps above to incorporate a staging area for the boxes:

  • Bring out the empty boxes from storage
  • Pack the boxes with Christmas decorations
  • Stack the boxes up in a corner of the room
  • Wait for a day or two
  • Put the filled boxes back into storage

Wish I’d thought of this sooner.
