Time to take down The Most Wonderful Christmas Garland Ever. Not to mention all of the less wonderful Christmas garland that might still be hanging around.


First take out all that extra junk that you put in to make it wild. Save all the fern pieces and nests and keep them handy for your spring wreath.


If you have space in your attic, garage or basement you can just slip a heavy duty hanger on each end of your garland and hang it up until next year.


If you are short on hanging space just stuff it all in a plastic bin. The garland is so easy to fluff back up you don’t have to worry about smooshing it. Make sure you make a label and place it on top of the garland so you know what you are looking at come next Christmas. You don’t need to remove the lights. Next year, plug them in and cut out or unwrap any light strands that have burnt out over the summer.

Do you pack away your Christmas decor before or after New Year’s Day?
