Abstract:
1. A string of holiday lights and a reduced tangle storage device, comprising: a. a string of holiday lights; b. a spool including two parallel plates with a first axle perpendicularly aligned and extended between said plates; c. a second axle parallel to said first axle; d. a flexible, elongated support strap extending between said plates and attached at its opposite ends to said first axle and said second axle, said support strap being sufficient in width and length so that when said string of holiday lights is longitudinally aligned and placed adjacent to said support strap and said support strap is wound onto said first axle or second axle, said string of holiday lights is simultaneously wound with said support strap onto said first axle or said second axle thereby preventing layers of said string of holiday lights on said first axle or said second axle from being tangled.
