What’s your best holiday timesaving tip?

I love to decorate my home for the holidays, but it's very time-consuming. So two years ago, I photographed each room fully decorated and then stored each room's items in its own Rubbermaid tub with the photo attached. Now I can bring each tub directly to the appropriate room and quickly dress it up exactly as I like.
