A woman has gone viral for her ingenious Christmas tree decorating hack which she says has allowed her to spend more time with family.
Carrie Williams has saved herself a lot of hassle just by using a cheap roll of cling film on Amazon.
Christmas-loving Carrie, who lives in Mississippi, said she spent ‘all day’ decorating three Christmas trees and even more time putting up the rest of her festive decor.
This year, she said: ‘I decided I would wrap my trees ornaments lights and all in plastic wrap. I found a huge roll with handles on Amazon and wrapped it tightly.’
The family stored the wrapped tree in their bonus room until December rolled around.
‘When December came around, I brought them down and cut the plastic off and was able to just fluff the trees and bows and plug them in,’ she explained.
Carrie filmed the process and shared it on TikTok, where it quickly went viral, gaining more than 750,000 likes.
‘It saved me so much time. Now I have all month to spend with family instead of decorating,’ she added.
The hack has been hailed as genius, but not everyone is sold — one person said the best part of Christmas is decorating the tree.
