Christmas time is a special time of year and one of the best ways to keep those Christmas memories alive long after the season has passed is by creating a memory box. Memory boxes are a wonderful way to store all the decorations, cards, photos, and other items from the holiday season and to look back on them for years to come.

The first step to creating a memory box is to find a box that is suitable for the task. It should be big enough to house all the items that will be stored in it, but not too big that it takes up too much space. A shoebox or a plastic container with a lid are great options. Once the box has been chosen, it’s time to decide what to put in it.
One of the best things to store in a memory box is Christmas cards. Collecting all the cards that were received throughout the season will help bring back all the joy and warmth of the holidays. Photos are also great to store in a memory box. Whether it’s a photo of the family gathered around the Christmas tree, or of the kids opening presents, photos capture all the best moments of the holidays.

Other items that can be stored in a memory box include a special ornament that was given as a gift, wrapping paper and a list of everyone who was present for the holiday. If there is a special tradition that the family does every year, store a few items that are associated with the tradition in the memory box. This could be a homemade cookie cutter, a recipe card, or a special decoration that is used each year.
Once the memory box is filled with all the items from the holiday season, it’s time to put it away. It’s best to store it in a safe place, like a closet or a chest, so it can be easily accessed each year when it is time to take out the decorations.
