Taking Time Now Could Free Up Storage Space In Your Attic or Garage Later LEWISVILLE, Texas -- As Thanksgiving dissolves into a tryptophan-induced haze, your thoughts may well turn to Christmas; or more accurately, the holiday chore of dragging the Christmas decorations out of storage--be it down from the attic, or out of the closet, or in from the garage, or from whatever space it is that you stash them for the 330-plus days that they are not making your home more merry.
