I've been homemaking for 30 years now! That just totally made me feel old. LOL! 
Today I'm sharing my experience with a few Christmas decorating must haves that you'll want to purchase or make sure you have before you start decorating, during and for the big take-down. Some of these are exact items that I have and some are similar. 
A few may just be on my wish list!
