Post-holiday clean-up is not as fun as decorating, but it is important to properly store your favorite holiday decorations to make them last for years to come. I have rounded up some of the easiest and budget-friendly Christmas storage solutions to help you organize all the wrapping paper, ornaments, lights, decorations from year to year. Some of these ideas require a little DIY action while others are just simple household supplies repurposed.
