I have two large clear ornament bins. Every year, I treat myself to one (or two) special ornaments from a trip, a craft shop or just wherever I see one that makes me smile. Not necessarily expensive. Breakable ornaments are carefully wrapped up, non breakables are placed together in pretty boxes. All fit into the two bins and put away after Christmas. When I take them out the following year, it’s like opening presents, when I unwrap them! Not a chore, just a lot of awww’s, so sweet, cool, funny, etc coming out of my mouth. I just keep all the wrappings in the same bins for the later putting away. Love Christmas. My home decorations are mostly nature, outdoor winter wonderland themed, so can keep them up, over our whole cold Canadian winter.

I vaguely recall a video from a few years back, using trays of (glued on) solo cups to store baubles. You can use an offcut from a plank of wood (or a coat hanger, in a pinch) to wrap lights around.

I'm a butterfly. But when it comes to certain items, I'm a bee. I wrap my ornaments well but then chuck everything into a tote. I'll find ornaments in different totes. I broke down and purchased an ornament box. Not all the ornaments fit in it. So once again, there's ornaments in other boxes. I'm not disappointed. It is what it is.

I can't decide between the trees. They're both so pretty, just in different ways. One tip to make sad garlands and wreaths look better is to take a little time to fluff out and shape each branch. If they're flattened and misshapen it will make a world of difference.

OCD cricket here 👋 I change my house decorations 5-6 times per year and it usually only takes me 1-2 hours max for the entire house. The trick is pretty simple: when storing decor I always use big see through bins with lids and I label them by rooms rather than the occasion. And then inside the big bins i would use smaller (also labeled) boxes that each contains decor for different occasion. That means I already have my decor prepped for each room and all i have to do is to take each box to it's corresponding room and to set it up. It's fast, easy and it's completely clutter free.😊

I'm a cricket with ADHD. I have to wait for the optimal time to put away the Christmas decorations so it can be organized for next year. If it's a hot mess when I open up the bin I find it extremely difficult to even start decorating. I would have to organize the things before I set out anything. Having less Christmas decorations has also helped. I've only kept the things that I truly love and I use a lot of lights. Lights have a big impact on their own without cluttering up the place. I put lights on already existing plants and shelving.

I have each room's decorations organized in its own bin-but there is a lot of "stuff" in them that can ake over that particular room until it is all decorated. I wrap all my Christmas items in tissue paper because we used to move often, and I was not sure if my Christmas decorations would survive otherwise. I pull everything out, not necessarily carefully, and put it in the bin top so I can see it. I get so excited seeing all the pretty things again. I grab items from the top of the bin as I go along. I have a lot of tree ornaments because I used to decorate 5 trees; one-family tree, 3 trees for each child, and one skinny tree in our hallway. I packed bins with just their ornaments that were in the original boxes and let them take what they wanted for their own trees when they had their own home. I kept their leftovers and only recently bought ornament packing boxes and started putting the ornaments in those, however, I kept a number of the Hallmark boxes they came in bc they were so fun to read about.

I have vintage mid century snowflake glasses I put battery powered candles in. 1950s ceramics that aren't readily available. I get sick of wreaths or the picks are discolored, I save the wreath and get new picks for it. I even use the garland trick on wreaths. Make my own bows too. Gave up on having a big tree and bought a large leg lap for the front window. It's an Ohio thing. We are proud of our little holiday movie that was filmed here. We have kind of adapted that lamp into our decor. Even have a crate to put it on. I try to be clean but never happens.

Out of a lack of energy, I usually decorate in "shifts." I start with the tree in my family room. It's my favorite so it motivates me to do more. When I'm finished decorating that tree (BTW, all the decor for that tree is stored in one cube to make it easy to find.) I clean up my mess and the next day I take out the next project. I would say I'm a bit of a combo bug. I like things out where I can see them but the stuff I don't use every day gets organized in detail in my cupboards and closets. Sometimes my closets look better than the outside areas. Go figure.

Everything looks great! I used to decorate for Christmas. I'm a crafty person. I made wreaths for my 2 kids for their homes. I'm making another type this year for them. A 3-D wooden star with fairy lights. I haven't decorated my home since 2020. Nobody was coming that year, so I only put up my small 2.5 foot tree. It's actually decorated, in a bag, in a box. I just pull it out and plug it in. Done. I put up my wreath (that was handmade by a friend) also. When I did decorate, I took my time and took things out of boxes, and put other things that were in the house into the boxes while the Christmassy things got put out. (switched places) I did have my hubby put lights on the house and our blow up stuff and candy canes. I get depressed if the lights are not on the house. So that helps. I don't know if I'll put up the tree this year. I had a loss last year. I didn't decorate last year either. When my kids were younger, I decorated a great deal.

Thanks for all the tips and tricks. I like the rustic tree. I'm an "old-fashioned Christmas tree" kind of girl. I guess I'm a "neat and methodical" decorator. I have all my decor stored by item type so I usually take it one bin at a time and place items from that bin all around the house, then I move on to the next. I don't always get that instant reward of seeing one space done, however, when the last bin is done then the whole house is done. I store any items that I remove for Christmas into the empty bins. Keeps it safe and out of the way. When the holidays are done and I put everything away, I wrap everything and put it all back nice and neat. I'd go crazy just knowing that the bins were all messy if I didn't, and yes, I'm a Cricket.

I am totally a classic cricket everything is super sorted, and meticulously wrapped in labeled bins. I actually have bins labeled for what room it decorates, I have printed photos of how I decorated an area the previous year, makes it super fast and easy. And my husband kids and grandkids can all help, and they know exactly where to put things. I'm also a professional cleaner and organizer. So fun to decorate a client's home and then set up the system for them as well.

I am just like that with Christmas decorations, can’t deal with it in January when everything is going away. Normally I am not like that. I put things neatly away but I have a brother and other realativs with ADHD so I think I have a tiny stroke of that. At least for taking down Christmas decor! Love these small stories in the end. I sometimes skip parts and go for the end story! ❤

Loved the video and all the decorations! You really are creative with Dollar Store things. I think I'm a cricket - I have bins with labels on what goes back inside each bin for my Christmas decorations and everything inside the bin is put neatly away. If I have something in a Walmart bag inside the bin, inside the Walmart bag is a label for what goes back inside that bag! I know - I'm a nut! But I do love organization! Thanks for your videos and I always love the 'endings'.
