For anyone who is tempted to buy the ornament storage boxes, here's a very cheap alternative with some advantages. Take an empty case of beer, which comes with dividers and two layers already, and use it. You will be able to hold at least as many ornaments as bottles, and if the ornaments aren't breakable or are wrapped, you can fit more than one in a section. I used an empty case of bottled beer; beer cans or a case of soda might also work. I covered mine in white contact paper to get ride of the beer logos and make the label stand out. As I recall, this has the advantage of being much more compact than the plastic ornament storage boxes.
If you don't have colored storage boxes, you can print a big label out of 8.5 x 11 paper in an appropriate color. Tape it wherever it will be seen, or print several and tape them on multiple sides of the box.
I also have a seasonal storage area and shelves in my basement where I group all seasonal things (coolers, boogie boards, sleds, porch ornaments, Halloween stuff). I do keep the Christmas stuff in a separate set of shelves because that's where it fits.
Lastly, I don't have a lot. Two boxes of Christmas stuff and holding. Just random odds and ends for other seasons.
