Recycle, eh

Once the holidays are over comes the arduous task of packing up and storing your Christmas and holiday decorations, lights, garlands, etc.

1. Reuse whatever boxes your decorations came in but if you don't have any or they are too grungy to reuse, take a look around the house for material you can use instead. 
2. Cardboard boxes with dividers (from the liquor store), egg cartons, and cardboard or tin coffee cans are only a few of the items you can bring into service. 
3. Plastic dry cleaning bags make good dust covers once you've organized your decorations and other Christmas items.
