It <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">should not <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">be a time for dreading finding your decorations, tableware, and other holiday supplies through mismatched, unlabeled boxes in your garage, attic, or closets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your holiday organization is non-existent, don\u2019t just resign yourself to a mad scramble the week before Halloween. Take charge of your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">holiday storage<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> now before the holiday rush!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Early Holiday Decoration Storage Is a Game Changer<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of a busy holiday season, it\u2019s oh-so-tempting to take down your decorations, stuff all your supplies into the nearest available box, and shove them all into the back corner of your garage or attic as quickly as possible. But failing to organize in the moment only makes your life more complicated the next year. Worse, poor storage methods could damage fragile decorations or lead to a shorter lifespan of the holiday supplies you paid good money for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why it\u2019s time to roll up your sleeves and perform your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">holiday prep<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> now before the season catches you by surprise. Read on for your full <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">holiday storage checklist<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holiday Prep Checklist<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to do <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">holiday storage<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> right, that means facing your past mistakes. Begin by giving yourself a dedicated window of time for this project. Grab a few hours on the weekend or free up an afternoon during the week and follow this <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">holiday prep checklist<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Gather all your holiday supplies. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need to know what you\u2019re working with, so dig through your garage, attic, crawl space, closet, and storage unit to bring all your holiday supplies into one place.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Test all your supplies. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plug in all your Christmas lights, check that your scary witch still cackles, and make sure none of your snowglobes are leaking. If anything is broken or damaged beyond repair, toss it.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pare down. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Review every holiday item and make sure it\u2019s still something you want to keep. Are those old costumes too small for your kids? Are you over your huge, blow-up lawn decorations? Give away or sell anything you don\u2019t regularly use. Otherwise, it\u2019ll just take up space.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Make an inventory. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can\u2019t optimize your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">holiday prep<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> game if you don\u2019t know what you have. Create a simple spreadsheet that lists all of your holiday gear so you\u2019ll know exactly what to look for next season. Categorize by holiday and type of item (ex. decorations, costumes, dishware, etc.)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sort by holiday. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you begin storing your holiday items, sort them by holiday. This will make it easy for you to pack same-holiday items together, so you can quickly grab all your Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Hanukkah gear at once when it\u2019s time to put everything out.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mastering Halloween Storage: Tips for Costumes, Props, and Spooky Decor<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you\u2019ve sorted all your holiday supplies, it\u2019s time to master the art of storage, starting with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">storage for Halloween decorations<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Costume Care<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unsure what to do with your costumes?
