There’s nothing like decorating the Christmas tree. It’s probably on your mind year-round, but the second Halloween ends, it’s game time, Santa edition. Before you can begin decking the tree out in all its glory, though, you’ve got to snag those ornaments and other Christmas decorations from wherever you stashed them.
It’s been a while since you last saw your festive trinkets, so you’re hoping that retrieving them is a seamless process.
