Anyone decluttering their Christmas storage area? I'm looking for any advice on how to part w/some Christmas stuff.
It seems silly to post since its so simple, just give some things away. But I'm struggling to part with my Christmas goodies. I'm using a bedroom closet to store my 6 containers (3 regular 20x16x16?, 2 14x12x12? & 1 shoebox size). There are other non Christmas items stored in this closet too. Also, half of my cedar chest is filled w/Hallmark ornaments & there's another box 12x8x18? in the chest. I have a few individual boxes w/Christmas village type houses (3-4) in various closets since my storage space is really tight. It bothers me to waste so much time search for certain items. However, my containers are like puzzles, things only fit in a certain combination. KWIM? Seems like the only solution is to give some away. I could make a little more storage space if I give away other non Christmas items...
We used only 30% of the decorations "this year", but I actually like to decorate more than that. I've tried to go through several containers recently, but feel guilty whenever I start pulling things out to give away. Help? Oh, did I mention I like to add a few new items each year... I really need help!
