This recipe makes A LOT.  If you are making this mix during the holidays, make sure you have plenty of Christmas tins on hand (available at the dollar store).  Otherwise, store the mix in Tupperware containers.  Line your containers with paper towels and store them in a cool dark place – like your closet.
