Were your Christmas lights....

put away nicely last year? or a jumbled mess to sort out?

I need to buy a few new strings of lights this year.

We have a prelit tree, so we don't mess with lights any more

Well, they were neat & tidy until GW got his little mitts on them....same with the hooks on the ornaments....and the extension cords for the tree....and my huge bag with all the gift bags in it....oh yes, and the box with my wrapping paper in it....he wasn't here last year for Christmas so everything was done neatly & in order - this year - Heaven help us ~ no deployments in the next couple of weeks for us...

I'm sure ours were put away nicely because Steve does the lights. If I had put them away they would be a mess

Ours were put away nice and neatly, but I moved the box with my Christmas ornaments a number of times and by the time I took them out this Christmas, well they weren't as nice and orderly has I had put them.

Very neatly!!!!! DH is very particular about the lights!!!! One of the bubble lights has to be replaced though, cause it dryed up!!!

Neatly, one year they were a mess, we were so tired when taking them down we just threw them in.........NEVER again!!

Neatly.

One of the best investments I ever made was buying the plastic things to wind strings of lights around. I had used wrapping paper tubes before and always had a mess- those .79 Odd Lots bargains have saved me a lot of headaches these last few years!
