We downsized before coming here, getting rid of most of our Christmas decorations. Then we felt the first house we got here was a bit too small and upsized. Now we are adding to our seasonal decoration stash.

Most designer and premier homes have lots of attic storage, assuming you have things that won’t melt. You can add proper stairs and/or dumbwaiters to get things up and down. Some people use their non-master bedroom closets for that type of stuff. Some people add on storage rooms to their house. If you look at preowned homes you might be able to see the way people add storage to their homes.

The other thing is lots of people head to family for holidays, and don’t do much seasonal decorating.
