I have 8 different size boxes of 'stuff' that I will be sorting through in a couple of weeks. That's not counting the giant Christmas tree box either!!
How many boxes of things do you dig out of the closets or wherever?
Way too many! I don't even know how many we have. We decorate outside around Thanksgiving and inside by mid-December. It usually takes a while to round up all my Christmas stuff, so it's good I'm not a November tree putter-upper.
0 But this will be our first Christmas in Indy and I am already planning all the decorations I will be buying (I have my tree color scheme all worked out). So ask me again next year!
I need to show this thread to DH! He thinks I have more than any one person should have. It's kind of a running joke around here.
I have 6 boxes and we always use a real tree. Those boxes do, however, include my mini-tree. Then DS & DD each have their own box of ornaments. Theirs are still in the original boxes. I took all of mine out & wrapped in bubble wrap 2 years ago - otherwise I'd have even more boxes!
When we condensed everything down, we bought a few crates from Wal-Mart. I'd guess they were 2x2x6 and the ones with trays are shorter - maybe 2x1x6.
I do not have boxes...I have CLOSETS. 2 of them...stuffed with indoor decorations. My best friend tells everyone she has the privilege of visiting the North Pole each year!
I think I have 4 or 5, plus the tree. We don't do anything outside the house, so that's all indoor decorations. I think I am going to do more outdoors this year, so I'll probably put up an additional box or two this January. (Actually, I'll be a month from my due date, so DH will have to put all the decorations up for me. )
but LOTS! They are all in the basement. When we moved back in March - I remember the movers aksing what all this stuff was comming from the storage area of the Condo. When I said that it was all Christmas stuff - one asked if he could bring his kids by in December for the show LOL! We have lots of stuff in those big artificial tree bags.
25!! Plus tree, train, big plastic Santa, and inflatible Santa.
Those are the clear plastic 66 quart (I think, does that sound right?).
Think that's a lot?
I don't put everything up anymore though. Since the kids are away at college, too much work for me.
I don't even know how many boxes and bags of Christmas stuff I have... it is in a big jumble in the back closet. I will have to face up to it next weekend though... as I plan to decorate next weekend... as I leave for DIS CON after Thanksgiving.
