With back-to-back holidays right around the corner, your garage is about to get a lot more cluttered storing boxes and boxes of decorations. We break out fall decorations first followed by Halloween and Thanksgiving. Shortly after that, people typically do the quick turn around, packing up their orange and brown decor and trading it for holiday colors of reds and greens.
