Oh my gosh... I have 2 boxes of Halloween decorations but Christmas I have a footlocker, 2 boxes, a large sack, and some things on the footlocker (I think I need a bigger box)!

Too many boxes! 6-8 boxes of christmas stuff at least. But I don't use everything every year. I like to change it up. Of course some things are used every year without question.

For Halloween just 2 boxes of decorations.

I'm guessing you don't live in an apartment. What do you keep in the sack ... tinsel? stockings? christmas tree skirt?

I only have one box of Halloween decor but I have about 7-8 of those big rubbermaid boxes full of Christmas decoration. That is besides the decoration that will not fit in boxes, mainly outdoor decoration.

I have a small box of Halloween decorations and at least five huge boxes that contain tree decorations, garland and lucite icicles for the stairs, and all the holiday things that decorate the mantle and all over the house. I also have a couple of small boxes that contain additional decorations that I haven't put up the last few years--I am tired of them and ready to trade them with a friend.

I just gave all of my old decoration to a friend of mine and a neighbor. They will make good use of them and hopefully great memories :)

I have 4-5 boxes of fall decorations (Halloween and Thanksgiving). I couldn't begin to tell you how many boxes of Christmas decorations I have. The best I can tell you is that I have two closets devoted to it. In our basement, we have a little closet under the stairs that I stuff full of boxes. We also have a smaller closet that I keep the overflow.

I finally went through the boxes two years ago and labeled them with what's inside and which room it goes to. It makes cleaning up SO easy in January. I don't have to worry about trying to fit things in, I already know which box the pointsettias go in and which container keeps the Advent calendar. It's perfect!

Oh my, I have a big plastic tub for EVERY holiday! Valentines, St. Pats, Easter, you name it! 2 for Halloween, 1 for Thanksgiving, and mercy, I don't know how many for Christmas. I know the Village was at least 6 plastic tubs and then some. I haven't gotten all the rest of the boxes down from the attic! We've been married 23 + yrs and have 4 kids. Each kid has 2 tubs of ornaments. Need I go on?? Can you say packrat?
