Tip: Holidays

A tip to help next year's Christmas (or any holiday throughout the year) decorating go faster: take a picture of each area that is decorated BEFORE you take down your decorations. Print out a copy and put it w/ the decorations it 'shows' before storing them. Next year, simply pull out the picture and you'll know exactly where to place each item (for example, how many snowmen go on the mantle). Saves time every year, so that you don't start from scratch thinking "Hmm, how many snowman go on the mantle and how many go on the bookcase?!?"
