To ensure the longevity and quality of your Christmas decorations, it's crucial to store them properly. Begin by cleaning or dusting off each item according to its care instructions. Then, wrap delicate or breakable items in bubble wrap or tissue paper and place them in a sturdy box. Utilize ornament storage boxes or create your own dividers with cardboard for added protection. For items like garlands or lights, consider wrapping them around a piece of cardboard to prevent tangling. Store all decorations in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to preserve their colours and integrity.
