You probably won't find it until you are putting away your decorations. That has happened to me a few times.
Two years ago, I "lost" my glass angel (it was a gift from someone and dear to me) and was very upset about it. I keep all my decorations in two large boxes and I know that she can't be stashed away anywhere else. I looked and looked and finally gave up thinking that I might have accidentally dropped her among the paper and stuff that was to be discarded
Last year, I took out my decorations and out she rolled from one of the boxes! I had no idea how she went missing that one year!
Sorry to bring this back up ,but yeah this always happens each year we seem to have something missing , we search the loft high and low and nothing is there it is weird how the things just disappear like that.
I have constantly lost and misplaced my Christmas items; but now I pack everything up by room and mark the bin...kitchen..living room...etc.. and that way when I pull everything out, the bins go straight to each room they were packed in. That way I know the kitchen linens are in the kitchen bin. It's saving me the headaches of disorganization and is making decorating easier!
Simple ! Go Shopping ! You don't need anymore stress

We started putting everything on one place, but where in the place is always the question. Just spent 3 hours looking for large plastic bulbs I bought on sale at the end of Christmas to hang from the ceiling in the hallway. Finally I found them....man was that frustrating. You would think a couple dozen very large ornaments would stick out like a sour thumb...doesn't though when you put them in a solid red plastic box.
All our Christmas stuff is in the same place in the attic
