When storing away a Christmas tree, it is important to properly pack and protect it so that it can be used again next year. First, remove all ornaments, lights, and other decorations from the tree. Then, use a soft cloth or towel to wipe down the tree to remove any dust or debris. Next, carefully fold the tree and place it into a storage bag, making sure to use a bag that is large enough to accommodate the tree. Once the tree is packed away, store it in a cool, dry place until next Christmas.
