Taking down the tree is not near as much fun as putting it up, but a little extra effort now will save you a lot of aggravation next year. Instead of throwing all your light sets into a box and allowing them to become one tangled mess, wrap them individually. Wrap each strand of light between your hand and elbow and secure in several places with twist ties. Garbage bag twists work best for large sets of lights because they are longer and sturdier.
