We’ve made it a month-long sprint of parties, shopping and shipping deadlines. We even kill trees for it. I for one can live without fruitcake, egg nog, and a fresh evergreen in my living room once a year.Decluttering the holidays means decluttering your life by eliminating excessive or unnecessary holiday activities you have been conditioned to do, and taking more time instead to celebrate the holidays as your heart desires.But I admit, decluttering Christmas came for me this year out of necessity rather than reflection. Due to a cluster of December business trips - for both my husband and myself - further complicated by a mid-December weekend cruise we’re taking (I just won […]
