We all know Christmas is looming and for those of us with kids, that means there is likely to be an influx of presents making their way to our address around 25th December. But where the hell are we going to put it all???

Whether you leave it until the traditional 6th of January or you have them all down as soon as the Next sale opens on Boxing Day, below are some hints and tips on how to take down and store your decorations so you’re not untangling lights, finding broken baubles at the bottom of the box or standing in the freezing cold loft next December, wondering where you put the wreath.

Now is the time we all start getting asked what we want for Christmas. And now is the time we struggle to say anything other than 'I don't know'.  This year is an even more tricky year to suggest items as we may not be able to see all our loved ones to exchange gifts, so things need to be posted, emailed or IOU'd!
