Christmas Ornaments, Pepsi Clock, and More!

As I'm keeping on with the decluttering for 2012, these are the items I have chosen to discard in the last thirteen days:

Day 16 - Monday January 16, 2012

A few Christmas ornaments I no longer use

Day 17 - Tuesday January 17, 2012

A historical visitors guide 

Day 18 - Wednesday January 18, 2012

A few empty, unused boxes

Day 19 - Thursday January 19, 2012

A pair of socks

Day 20 - Friday January 20, 2012

A top that isn't quite right for my body type

Day 21 - Saturday January 21, 2012

A bunch of pens that don't work

Day 22 - Sunday January 22, 2012

A Pepsi clock that no longer works

Junk-drawer junk

Day 26 - Thursday January 26, 2012

Dead batteries. These went into the "Dead Battery" container. When it's full it will be given to the Battery Recycle Center in my community.

Day 27 - Friday January 27, 2012

House key. It's useless since I have a new lock.

Day 28 - Saturday January 28, 2012

Cassette tapes and floppy disks

Getting it all out of my house. It all adds up!!!!

Day 351 - Paint-by-Number Ornaments

Today I'm losing an old set of paint-by-number Christmas ornaments. I bet the paint is all dried out.

Day 349 - Christmas Lights

Going through some things in my garage, I found some old Christmas lights that don't work. They are going in the trash.

Day 206 - Christmas Platter

This melamine Christmas platter has been sitting on top of my refrigerator for eons. I always wanted to give it to someone at Christmas piled high with cookies. A number of Christmases have come and gone and the platter is still here. But not for long. It's going into the donation box right now!

Day 196 - Christmas Tree Stand

Well, silly me... I got rid of my big artificial Christmas tree a few years ago and accidentally left the stand out of the box. Oops! I guess I'll donate the stand since I don't have a tree to fit it.

Day 25 - Christmas Tins

Christmas was one month ago. Yes, it is now part of days long gone. I have two Christmas tins that I will not use again so they are going to the donation box. Maybe some Santa will reuse them next year.

The donation box is getting pretty full. When it is completely full I will schedule a Salvation Army truck for pick up.
