March 14, 2008, Newsletter Issue #49: Storing Those Christmas Lights

Tip of the Week

Every year it is the same old thing, people climb up on a ladder and hang Christmas lights and after Christmas, people climb up on that same ladder and remove those Christmas lights.  When Christmas lights are taken down and put away, do you throw them wadded up in a box only to have to untangle them the following Christmas?  You can save yourself the hassle of having to untangle Christmas lights every year by using a Christmas light storage box.

These Christmas light storage boxes have a winged top and come with dividers that you can wind your Christmas lights around and set in the storage box.  Most Christmas light storage boxes come with more than one divider so that you can organize several sets of lights in one box.  You can even use your Christmas light storage box for items other than Christmas lights.  You can store your garland and any electrical cords you may need the following year, all in the same box as your lights!

These storage boxes are sold separately for around $15 or in a pair for about $30.  Remember that regardless of the price on these boxes, you will have neatly stored lights each year at Christmastime!  Not only does purchasing a storage item such as this save you a hassle, it looks nice and neat also!  You can find this cool storage tool at many retail stores and online store.  Retail stores usually only carry these items during the season, but many stores online carry them all year long!
