Speaking of Christmas trees..

Here's a little thing I learned about Christmas tree lights: they ALWAYS get tangled. Here's something to remember to do when you go to put them away this year.
Wrap the lights around a piece of cardboard or styrofoam and push the plug into it to keep in in place.

See? No more problem next year. Simple yet effective.

Next year when you go to set up your tree or go to decorate outside you'll cut your time in half this way. I've found that it also helps prevent light bulbs from breaking or popping out. Be sure to put each bundle into a separate grocery store bag, too. That way there's no risk even if it starts to unravel on it's own.
What are some other neat tricks to help keep holiday decorations organized? Let me know in the comments if you want!
