A storage device for light strands includes a hollow housing having a shaft rotably mounted therein. The housing includes a bottom wall, a pair of opposing side walls, a rear wall, an open top and an open front. Attached to the front edge of the bottom wall is a flap formed of a plurality of foldable sections having a tongue extending from a leading edge thereof. The flap may be folded about the housing to selectively enclose the open front and top. A hand crank is rotatably mounted to the side wall of the housing and is attached to the shaft for selectively rotating the shaft to wind a light strand therearound. A pair of retaining bands are mounted to the shaft, each for securing the end of a light strand thereto.
