Christmas Tree Storage Bag

Do you use a Christmas tree storage bag for your tree? When you take your Christmas tree down it makes sense to use a better storage container than the cardboard box it came in. Using a Christmas tree storage bag makes storage much easier, cleaner, and efficient.

We used the cardboard box for many years but the tree would sometimes get dusty. The other problem with it was it being a real booger to maneuver out of the closet or attic and back into place after the holidays.

Of course, like a lot of people, we also stored our lights and decorations with the tree in the box. This is not ideal.


This year we decided to get a Christmas tree storage bag to keep the tree and its decorations in good condition. With the handle it's easier to move around and doesn't require 4 hands to get it into the top of the closet or the attic.

5 Adorable Christmas Stockings Less Than $10


I found these adorable Christmas stockings while browsing for easy ways to decorate for the holidays.

These stockings are cute to hang from the mantel, add under the tree, or as decorations around the house.

I have always loved using Christmas stockings as a way to decorate at for the holidays. I have found they are a great as a fun way to hide even more presents. Sometimes these are much more expensive, presents.

My grandmother started my love of Christmas stockings. She made one for me the year I was born and I have used it for every Christmas since then. It is still in nearly pristine condition.


You can give your loved ones their very own stockings too. These 5 Christmas stockings are less than $10 each. I'll bet you can think of many ways to use these adorable Christmas stockings.

Outdoor Christmas Decorations Reindeer

I have been searching for the right ones of these outdoor Christmas decorations reindeer. I have narrowed it to these three.

I like the fact these three could be used on both the rooftop and the lawn.

My son really adores Christmas and loves the reindeer decorations. We take a drive through the neighborhoods every year to check out the lawn decorations.

He always wants me to drive slowly by the homes with these outdoor Christmas decorations reindeer.

The three I have shown are the ones with the best ratings and reviews. I searched through many outdoor Christmas decorations reindeer before finding these.


This year the plan is to get two or three of them and add one each year to our collection. We have a fairly large 1 acre sized yard so it will take many years to get to a point where there are too many.
