20 Christmas Hacks that will Change Your Life - LOVE #18!

So the other day I was talking to my friend and she was telling me how she has a wrapping paper station all set up in her basement. She’s organized and can easily get her presents wrapped and ready to go. This got me thinking what other Christmas Hacks are out there… so here’s 20 amazing Christmas Hacks to make our Christmas prep just a little bit simpler and enjoyable for everyone!

1. Use 2 Different Bulb Sizes for an extra wow effect!
