One of the most beloved Christmas traditions is putting up the Christmas tree. As much as I love doing that, I have to admit I wish there were a faster way to do it. It takes me a few good hours to put up the tree and dress it up the way I like it.
And then, after the holiday season, I pretty much dread having to take it down. What if there was a better way? As it turns out, there is thanks to one hack that's going viral.
Why? It's because she wraps her entire tree, including all the decorations, in cling wrap to store it away until next season.
I mean, it makes perfect sense. Doesn't it? Why go through all the trouble of putting it up and then taking it down?
Not only can you save some precious time, but you can have your tree up a lot earlier. Every year I promise myself that I will put my tree up a few weeks before Christmas.
Don't get me wrong, I have all good intentions, but I usually have to work extra before the holidays. That fact prevents me from getting the tree up as early as I would like.
Doesn't this idea sound like a way better solution for busy folks like us? I've got to admit that it has me thinking alright.
Well, I've watched a few videos on the process, and people seem to start from the top. It's easier, as the tree is thinner at the top. Then you just keep going down, wrapping the tree in plastic as you go.
They can assist you in pushing the branches slightly up so you can wrap the tree tightly. It also helps to ensure that you don't break any ornaments in the process.
If you have a storage room or a garage, that may be the best place for it. You'll need enough space to keep the tree upright for the year.
OMG, isn't that so genius or what? Would you do this to save time? Or do you enjoy the process of putting everything up from scratch more?
