How to Dig Yourself Out from Your Leftover Holiday Clutter

Every year, we toss our Christmas decorations in boxes
haphazardly, and every year we curse ourselves when it's time to
take them out. This year, take a bit more time to pack up those
decorations and make sure they're neat. If you're still using
old cardboard boxes that are barely hanging on, invest in a few
plastic containers and stick some labels on them so you know
what's what. If you don't have sticky labels, that's fine—you
can just as easily stick a piece of paper in the clear
tupperware container for easy viewing.  When it comes to packing
up your lights, wrap them up in a way that won't get them
tangled. We've mentioned using a coffee can, but eHow has an
even better solution: wrap them around those wrapping paper
tubes you just used up! Once all the lights are off the tree,
