Stapleton parents Stew and Carol Hogan promise to not go overboard every year. However, every Holiday Season, they find themselves in the same predicament with lots of presents and no place to put them. \u201cWe used to be able to hide them different places in the loft and the basement,\u201d said Stew. \u201cBut, the kids are getting older, so they seem to be doing more \u2018exploring\u2019 so to speak. We can only put so many toys in Carol\u2019s underwear drawer.\u201d The couple had been shifting things from car to car, covering items with blankets, but it got to be too much. \u201cOur neighbors used to hide things at their place as well,\u201d said Carol. \u201cBut, they have so much stuff now, too. We couldn\u2019t have their kids finding our kids\u2019 stuff.\u201d Ultimately, the Hogans decided they needed a better temporary hiding solution. \u201cWe eventually went with a nearby storage facility in Aurora,\u201d said Stew. \u201cSure, it adds more money to the Christmas expense, but it does remove a lot of the stress. The kids aren\u2019t going to drive to the storage facility, find the correct compartment, and then have the key.\u201d The Hogans also figured out a way to at least mitigate some of the cost. \u201cWe shared the idea with our neighbors, and they loved the idea. So, we just split the cost, and it works out great for everyone.\u201d The Hogans could consider not going overboard every Christmas, but that\u2019s just not going to happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
