unclutterWell, my dears. I'm sure we're all over the place in terms of socio/cultural/geographic/religious location; but where I am is the day after Christmas, with a house containing two currently sleeping children and assorted christmas gift detritus. Also, it is snowy outside.
The combination of post-holiday consumer hangover and the arrival of the new year always seems to spark my decluttering. Historically, I can go strong on the 1 In/1 Out model for a few months before tapering off, I'll see how that goes for me in 2013.
As for today, after I finish my coffee, and ship the kids to their dad's, and get around to putting away some gifts, I'm going to try to be intentional about asking myself whether each one replaces something I already own, and could now release.
Blessings of renewal to you all.

Good luck!
