I realised last year, when I decorated a tree at home and was able to decorate another tree in the house we borrowed for the season, and still had leftover tree decorations, that I may have too many!!
So while I haven't done it yet, I had already decided that when I get the other box back from MIL's attic (it went there in case we were going to be down this year again, but it is not looking likely - although we have yet to decide properly), that I am going to go through them and donate a lot of the spares to the local charity shops. Hopefully before Christmas itself so that others can get to use them this year.
Or else put aside a box of things and make my siblings go through it, as a few of them are starting to be thinking of putting up trees themselves now (none yet settled away from home, but more settled in temporary places where decorating is on the agenda and veering towards being settled by next year in other cases).
