RE: I guess I'm one of those people now...

Thanks, I appreciate it. We still have a few small wall hanging type things that we haven't gotten out yet, but the lights are all done and that is what was most important. Everything else is pretty minimal. We used to go out the day after Christmas and shop the decor sales, but we stopped doing that as we just ended up with so much stuff we never used.

Sort:  

I have a lot of stuff, even though nearly every year when I drag out or put everything away, I try to let go of some of it. I've accumulated through the years and others that know how much I've loved it have gifted me precious things, so they have sentimental value as well. It is much harder to reduce when things have some sentimental value.

Yes, I totally agree with that and the sentimental value. My wife is a bit of a minimalist, so we try to limit that sort of stuff in the first place. She gets all kinds of stuff from her students at school and she usually regifts some of it.
