Yeah, there's a progressive 'am I really that attached to this?' that seems to kick in and after a couple of rounds, I realize that I'm more attached to the memories than the actual item and letting go of the item doesn't mean I don't get to keep the memories.
I'm not a big holiday decorator to begin with, so most stuff doesn't get put out any given year anyway. I think that's making it easier to let go, too. (That and looking at things with a more critical eye - the Halloween lightup from childhood actually looks pretty awful thirty years later, do I really need to keep dragging it out and putting it away?)
