#25DaysofJaM: 5 Steps To Save The Season When You're In a Tangle

Super-Simple Steps

You could have sworn that you’d neatly wound up the lights last January, but now there it is.... A HUGE tangled mess of lights at the bottom of the décor box! It’s so difficult to feel festive if you’re flying into a rage over never-ending loops of lights. But all you need is Butter, JaM or Toast and these super-simple steps to save the season…

Step 1. Step back..from the big ball of tangled wire, take a deep breath and a large sip of your favorite JaM wine…and smile.

Step 2. Set the scene. Light the fire, play your favorite Holiday tunes, and burn an evergreen candle.

Step 3. Create space. A large flat open space to spread out, within easy reach of the Butter.

Step 4. Strategize. Find an end and slowly and methodically work backward, keeping the free end neat and tidy as you go.

Step 5. Celebrate…as every knot untangles, and you transform your surroundings into a winter wonderland—sip, sip!

(And if you’ve done your best but end up looking like Houdini in a straight-jacket of Holiday wiring, it’s time order a new set of lights on Amazon, open more wine and stream Hallmark Holiday movies. Cheers!)
