[Tech1] Christmas Lights Storage

[Alan Taylor]

For as long as I can remember, I've rolled Christmas lights onto cardboard tubes from kitchen rolls, or lengths of cardboard postal tube for longer sets of lights. If you cut a notch in one end of the tube, you can tuck the first lamp into that notch and then roll up the rest very quickly and neatly. A second notch at the other end can be used to accommodate the plug end so that it stays put.

Next Christmas they unroll as easy as anything and no tangles.
