When storing Christmas tree decorations, most people don’t even think about how to do it correctly.
Many people simply put them in boxes and put them on the top shelf.
Therefore, it is worth figuring out how to properly store Christmas tree decorations.
Why Toys Should Be Stored in a Separate Box
Folk wisdom says that storing New Year's toys in a separate box not only helps to avoid breakages, but also creates an energetic boundary between the past and future years.
This approach is considered a symbol of farewell to the old year and readiness to accept new changes.
Fragrances for protection
Adding dried lavender or cinnamon sticks to a box of Christmas decorations is believed to ward off evil spirits and create a positive atmosphere in the storage area.
These scents also give the toys a pleasant smell the next time they are used.
Lit candle
According to superstition, a lit candle when putting away Christmas decorations attracts fiery energies that can protect the home and create an atmosphere of warmth and comfort for the coming year.
It is important that the candle is extinguished. It can be put away with the other toys after cleaning.
Citrus peel
Some people say that adding a little orange or tangerine peel when putting toys in a box is helpful.
This is considered to be a care for the safety of the jewelry and gives the box a fresh, refreshing scent.
Straw Crown
According to folk belief, placing a straw wreath on a box with Christmas decorations gives it protection and stability.
This symbol is also considered to be a call for good luck and prosperity in the coming year.
There is also a rational component, because such a crown can protect toys from various damages.
