23 Holiday Hacks Every Mom Needs to Know

If rolls of paper come flying out of your closet every time you open the door, you'll appreciate this easy trick. Grab an empty hanging bag — it doesn't even have to be clear — stick the rolls in it and hang the bag in the back of your closet. Problem solved!

Rather than dump your lights into a box until next year, grab a piece of cardboard and wrap the lights around them. You'll be amazed how easily this keeps things organized!

An empty water bottle is the perfect place to store your beaded garland. Simply lower the garland into the bottle and watch it "pour" out knot-free when you're ready to decorate next year!

Ever wonder how stores keep their ribbon tangle free? They keep it on a bar. A simple hanger will do the trick for the rest of us! Place your rolls on a hanger and watch your desk and drawer space clear up instantly!

Not thrilled about the idea of having to take apart your tree to store it for next year? Never fear, a simple roll of plastic wrap will do the job for you. Just roll the entire (fake) tree in plastic — ornaments, lights, and all — and you're good to go until next year!

Skip a trip to Target or The Container Store for those fancy ornament storage bins, and instead rely on empty egg crates to ensure their safekeeping at the end of the season.
