So, for the households yet to take down their festive decorations and Christmas tree, this one's for you.

One woman has revealed how to avoid the above with a handy and frankly genius way to keep Christmas fairy lights knot-free, reports Manchester Evening News .
The affordable hack uses nothing but an empty Pringles tube and was shared on the Facebook group, Extreme Couponing and Bargains .
In a discussion about tips for taking down Christmas decorations she wrote: "Discovered a bargain way to keep your lights untangled.
