For years... Decluttering is good on so many levels. For years I've been using a timer set for 10, 15, 30 minutes or whatever I can spare, to declutter. The timer keeps me focused and I found out it's amazing what you can accomplish in a short period of time. It's so nice to see that so many people are into enjoying a stress free Christmas rather than one long, manic shopping spree.Susanhttp://simplecozyliving.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-15527361123490339832014-11-15T21:41:34.987+00:002014-11-15T21:41:34.987+00:00I am having a major declutter - it has been going ...I am having a major declutter - it has been going on all year so far and I am loving the empty spaces I have created. By unanimous demand we are doing the family Secret Santa (renamed the Not so Secret Santa) again this year. It really cuts down on the shopping only having to buy one gift. keep us posted on your progress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-83122265959445768972014-11-15T18:22:53.088+00:002014-11-15T18:22:53.088+00:00we are having a no present Christmas.

I've finished my gift shopping and only buy consumables now. Since I prefer a simpler, minimalistic lifestyle I also cannot bring myself to buy "stuff" as gifts anymore for others. Gifts are now quality over quantity, meaning a good single bottle of wine per couple or gourmet coffee, tea, or other foods. <br /><br />I tend to declutter after Christmas because of the many gifts we receive that we will never use. I know this is sad, but I would rather donate these items now rather than have them sit around for a year or so (out of guilt) and then get rid of them. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
