I have sorted through all the stuff. The stuff that is now in the basement has definitely got to go somewhere—either to the next garage sale (a week from Saturday) and/or to the Salvation Army. Some of the remaining stuff is Christmas glasses and mugs that I can fill with candy or something and give as gifts. Most of the remaining stuff is for my big tree, and here is my deal with myself: I get to keep that stuff only if I actually put the tree up again this year. If I fail to put up the tree and trimmings, then out it all goes when the New Year comes in!
