A easy way to decorate for the holidays is to take a picture of the rooms you just decorated and after you put the decorations away also put the picture of the rooms in the box. Then next year when its time to decorate just look at your pictures and its easy to remember where to put everything. It works great for all holidays and makes putting up decorations very easy.
Good idea! I also put envelopes of Christmas cards received with my Christmas card lists so addresses can be easily found - especially of people that have sent a card for the first time to our home.
