Chuck

Yeah, not too bad.

This way is maybe a little likelier to get tangled because you're wrapping it over itself through the center of that thing over and over.

Well, the Chuck method is very lo-fi.

I found that it works for me.

It may not work for you.

I take the lights off the tree, and then I lay them sort of out one at a time on the couch.

Because the whole point of all of this is you don't want those tangles.

You know, that's the biggest hassle of these things.

They're kind of unwieldy.

And then I take one of those little plastic grocery bags that I'm about to go recycle, and instead I just sort of bunch up –

that individual cord and stick it in the bag.

Each one gets its own bag.

As I said in this piece that I sent to you, it sounds super janky, but I found that it doesn't really tangle when you take them back out and they pack really nice, you know, much nicer than these big long tubes because you can just sort of flat pack them in a bin.

And as long as they're each one, the whole point is just to do one per bag and to keep them separate.

And when I unveiled them,

they don't really get that tangly.

What's your method?

That's right, because I'm a hip kid.

On the tree?

Mm-hmm.
