How and when to remove Christmas decorations

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who love Christmas and those who can't wait for the celebrations to end. Either way, you know these holidays don't last forever, and of course, it's time to start wrapping things up. Not everyone knows when the right time is or how to store all the decorations that have been with us these past few weeks. However, at Deco&Lemon, we'll give you all the tips. Let's get started!

When is it time to take down the Christmas decorations?

We know putting away the Christmas decorations is a real chore, but the sooner you start, the better. Don't leave it until February . There are many different dates people consider for taking them down. Some choose to do it on Three Kings' Day, January 6th. However, you can also start as soon as the city's Christmas lights are turned off. If you used a real tree and don't have a garden to plant it in, check if your local council, or one in the area, has a municipal collection program. If you opted for an artificial tree, take it down and store it in a way that takes up as little space as possible. We recommend using a cover to wrap it, but without any decorations. When putting away your Christmas decorations, don't forget those items by the door or entrance. After putting everything away, it's really annoying to have to open all the packages again.

How to store Christmas decorations?

You must be very careful with the order of the decorations, especially the string lights. When it's time to take them down again, you'll be grateful you spent a few minutes tidying them up. Forget that old habit of untangling and undoing impossible knots. Box and drawer organizers can be incredibly useful for storing tree decorations or nativity scene figures without damaging them. If you have a lot of items to store, it's a good idea to label the boxes. Now that you know the main considerations for taking down your Christmas decorations and storing them properly, it's time to get started. Also, donate or throw away anything you don't need or won't use next year. Many people keep all sorts of things in case they find a use for them later, but it's not worth wasting space knowing that you won't.
