Day 60 - Christmas Stuff

As we unpacked our Christmas stuff last week I realized I had a few things I could part with.

1-16. I love these dishes. I've had them a few years but haven't even used them once which is super disappointing to me, but also makes it obvious that I don't need to keep them. Some of the attachment is emotional because a dear friend gave them to me on a very financially poor Christmas when DH and didn't have enough money to buy eachother gifts. She and her husband got me and DH both a little something so we'd have a gift to open Christmas morning. Sheesh, I'm even getting a little teary just typing this.
17-19. I also love this little Christmas train, but I don't love fixing it constantly which I've had to increasingly each year. It is not a coincidence that the number of children abusing it has also been increasing. This poor train had only been out a week when two of it's three cars demanded repair so we'll just let it go. It's cute but doesn't point to Jesus so I consider it a non-essential Christmas item. I'm pretty sure my Aunt gave this one to us at least 5 years ago.
20. This is an ornament we have never managed to use. It was a gift back when we first got married and it gets pulled out and then packed away each year without ever landing on the tree so we're saying goodbye.
21. A little mirror. It's been a knick-knack of mine since college, but as I was putting it away to make room for Christmas decorations I decided I didn't need to keep it.
22. A little notepad that doesn't get used and mostly just makes more work for me because I have to pick up little pages whenever the girls get hold of it. I will stop holding it hostage in my nightstand and set it free.




23-26. I love these dresses. My girls wore them for two years. I ended up taking these to consignment with their matching hair things.
