Walk the house once and tick each area off. Porch, roofline, mantel, tree, table and windows — with a note line for every spot.
The exact order to hang things for less rework — highest first, outside before inside, lights before garlands.
Label, box and test so next year is easy. Pack it properly in January, save an afternoon of untangling next December.

Why it works
Not a generic checklist — a sequence that follows the way a real home gets decorated, from the ladder to the last bauble.
Measure the roofline, count the windows, list the rooms. The worksheet tells you how much lighting you actually need.
Outdoor before indoor, tree before table, lights before garlands. Fewer ladders, fewer do-overs.
Labeled boxes, tested strands and a note about what worked — next December you'll thank yourself.
