Sure, the first year (or two) of COVID were wretched, but most of those barriers have since cleared — yet I’m still struggling. I’ve noticed the same with a number of people within my family and neighbourhood.
How are others feeling? Are you struggling, yet succeeding? If so, how are you breaking through?
Wait, do people NOT do this? I use the same shit every year unless it’s broken and I can’t fix it. Usually my cats are in some way to blame for that.
Dunno how many do/don’t do it 😁
I just wanted to point out a rather obvious idea 😂
Earth would also thank you!
My cousins have upped this game. They have toddlers. Starting in Feb, they begin stealing back the least popular toys and hiding them in the attic. Then they regift them back to the kids next Christmas. They only buy a couple new items every year.
It reduces clutter in the house and will probably work until around 6, when they plan to shift from regifting to donating.
I assume most do. No I am not going to spend hours trying to remember some cheap plastic thing I bought a decade ago from the dollar store but if it’s fine sure I put it away for next year
Or you could be like my mom, who has to buy a new fake tree like every year.
They actually have these things now called real trees that are perfect for discarding every year after you are done with them.
I even paid extra for a biodegradable one!
They leave needles everywhere. Imo, better to just use the same fake tree for decades.
They have actually found way of making some of them so that they ether don’t leave needles around or if they do that needles are soft. Super nice, it has been our tree type of choice for a few years now.
