Duplicate Stockings

When you are purchasing Christmas stockings buy 2 so you can hide one set and fill it as you go. It will be much easier to "trade off" a full stocking in the wee hours instead of sorting gifts and filling each one and it won't be too empty or overflowing. Put the empty one you remove in your hiding place until the next year

Holiday Lights

Use an couple extra strings of lights to go around your deck...the light will flood back into your living or family room and give an extra glow for the holidays.

organizing those tangled lights

Cut a piece of cardboard into the shape of a capital " i ", then wrap the lights on the inside! Saves you a headache for next year by keeping them untangled, and if you use cardboard from opened presents, you are also recycling!

Cookie Tin Ornament Keeper

An empty Christmas cookie tin makes a great storage place for delicate or special "homemade" ornaments from your children or grandchildren! Wrap delicates with SCOTT® Towels and place in appropriate size tin. Place special "homemades" between towels for extra protection and place in tin. Tins are usually received as gifts so no expense there and being tin, they are extra sturdy. Place a label on top and you know exactly what's in it next year. It's worked great for me for years!

FREE Cupcake Box!

Egg cartons make great mini-cupcake/muffin boxes to transport them to an event! Plus, if you use the cardboard kind, your kids can decorate the outside of the box!

Santa's Secrets

I always put a green garbage bag in my coat pocket at this time of year. Then, when I buy something for the kids, I put the presents in the green bag. It's easier to get them into the house without the kids peeking at all those see-through bags.

Holiday Decorating

Every year I would gather up all of the boxes filled with holiday decorations and walk around the house wondering where to place things. I finally got organized and have taken photos of each room and taped the photographs to the inside lids of all the boxes. Now all I have to do is go room to room, look and the photos for placement, and decorating only takes minutes.

Mailing List

I save all the return address labels from my holiday cards, and tape them into an address book (or you could use a notebook). When I need to send a holiday card or birthday day cards during the year, I have everything, including the zip code +4. It is very handy to have this nearby.
