Before, we had them in boxes but with our move, we splurged a bit after the big purge and bought tubs. Now as we decorate, we're taking the boxes to recycling and the tubs will come upstairs later when we un-decorate. All neat and tidy!Chyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09612160129616190092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420789516107092243.post-50000042829168190742015-11-12T12:57:48.869-08:002015-11-12T12:57:48.869-08:00Hi Penny!

Hence, the need for space inside the house.

Makes storage a bit easier!Chyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09612160129616190092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420789516107092243.post-25857703754056922952015-11-09T17:08:06.487-08:002015-11-09T17:08:06.487-08:00A Christmas room sounds like a festive place!

I like decorating towards the end of November and I'll leave the twinkle lights up throughout January and February. Those are the months when light is most welcome.

I would love to roll them out and plug them in.

The only thing that gets added to it each year is a bit of Vintage as I collect it. Last year hubby gave me the gift of some unsilvered WWII glass tree balls that I found on ETSY (no surprise there but boy was it a great gift). I decorate early too, but usually the last week of November (except the door wreath which goes up on the 12th in deference to Remembrance day as people get funny in this Military town if you decorate too soon). I take it down on Jan 1 though. I love the lights, I think that and the glass balls are my favorite bits. Can't wait to see the Christmas room!Cheapchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158208632054014311noreply@blogger.com
