uncluttering one day and one thing at a time

I, too, am much better at throwing things out at the third, fourth, or fifth pass than I am at the first. Like tasting something new, the first time is all about the reaction, not the thinking. And we only do the one set of decorating, with items going up on the Solstice and coming down on the 6th Jan, so I only have this lot to think about. My guess is that when my kids are grown up, it will be a thing that I don't do. The only one of the three that is keen is youngest, so it may well be that they will take most of the decorations with them when they move out (here's hoping!)
