It's a simple fact that the holiday season, whatever season that is, is simply awesome. The festivities, the joy of decorating, the time with friends and family, the spirit of giving; we all love this time of year. Unfortunately each holiday season has to come to an end and without the right kind of storage bins the entire thing can become a nightmare of epic proportions.
Consider the last time you had to get the lights out for Christmas, whether for the tree or for the outside of the home. There are a lot of fond memories of the holidays but it can be verified that few people look forward to sitting down with a snarled, tangled mess of lights that were tossed into a "please recycle" canvas bag you picked up at Wal-Mart. Someone forgot to invest in a few decent storage bins for the holidays, hmm?

Not only are storage containers like totes extremely helpful for tackling decorations but smaller storage containers and bins can be used to carefully house more delicate decorations to ensure that the same ones can be used each year. Likewise, storage bins give you a great place to put your Christmas lights, folded up carefully to ensure that there's no big mess to deal with next year.
Wishful thinking - someone will probably get into your storage bins in the summer and tangle them up anyhow just to be malicious. It's like a twisted family tradition to watch dad wrestle with a massive ball of red and green lights like a Lucha libre wrestler.
Not only are storage bins available in clear plastic (easily spot what you're looking for without lifting lids and digging through the mess) but they are also available in a variety of colors. The idea of looking through 20 blue totes is less than appealing but when you know that your red and green storage bins hold the Christmas gear and the Purple and Orange storage bins hold the Halloween costumes then you know the holiday setup is going to be easy this year.
When spring cleaning rolls around, you can look over the holiday contents and shed what you don't want. Empty the storage bin, wash them out (because glitter will literally stick to anything) and reload them for the next upcoming holiday.
