Tangle-free Christmas light storage on the cheap

In a few days, it will be time to take down your Christmas tree and store it away for another year, if you have an artificial tree, that is. Taking down the tree is not nearly as fun as decorating it, and if you are anything like me, by the time it is time to take the tree down, you are fed up with the Holiday season, and ready to just chuck everything into a box and forget about it until next year.

Storing your lights in a tangled heap will only result in frustration when it is time to place them on the tree again, so Chrisjob at Curbly has a wonderful suggestion on how to store lights, tangle free and cheap! Using a piece of cardboard or a shoe box lid, a utility knife, a string of lights, and a cutting surface, Chrisjob shows us how to store our lights properly.

Storing your Christmas lights in a proper manner this season will eliminate the need to throw your hands up in frustration next season. You will also have an easier time finding any burned out or broken lights, making it easier to fix or replace the lights. After all, the Holiday season is all about happiness, right?
