I love Christmas, so I wanted to keep the tree up for as long as possible. But I finally decided that it was time to take it down.
I have this huge clear box that I use to store all of my Christmas related stuff. I hope we don't ever get more stuff that doesn't fit into the box! I like to put our ornaments back into the original boxes they came in. It takes up a lot more room, but it just seems nicer that way.
Of course, we have a lot of ornaments without boxes. Those all just go into one miscellaneous small box or ornaments. Most of those are not breakable, but a couple are. I try to put the soft ones around the fragile ones.
One thing that C and I have decided to do is to try and get one Christmas ornament from each foreign country we visit. If we can't find a Christmas ornament, a key chain is a good substitute; that's often pretty cheap. C laughs at my key chain Christmas ornaments, but I love them! We might start getting Christmas ornaments/key chains for each new place we visit too.

I love having Christmas trees! As long as your wife is cool with it, keep it up!
I love the idea of getting a new one from every country. I have been thinking that I would want to get a piece of art from every country I visit, but your idea sounds much cheaper! I think I'll steal it.
I've also been thinking about trying to collect art from places I visit. I think my main problem is transporting the item back home!
