i determined to write down everything that i receive for christmas this year. i think it would be interesting to see everything listed in one place. i also think it would be interesting to look back in one year and see which items i really did need and still use. plus, if i were to ever measure my worth by how much stuff people gave me, this would be a great place to raise my self-esteem. because our christmas celebrations are spread out over a few weeks, i’ll post my gifts as i receive them.
round 1 (our family christmas – husband, wife, son, daughter)
- pair of workout shorts (for my new gym membership)
- pair of workout/warm-up pants (see above)
- box of chocolate covered cherries
- new watch (replaces my old one that broke)
- a gps unit for my vehicle
more to come…

I got a few fabulous things for someone attempting to remain uncluttered…for one, a smaller, more concise bible commentary to replace my husband’s enormous 2 volume version. Talk about a bookshelf saver.
A few things that I wasn’t quite sure what to do with – I got a breath-taking cherry wood jewelry box. It is as large as a treasure chest but absolutely stunning. I love it, but there goes the empty dresser.
I, interestingly, got a pack of vacuum storage bags in my stocking…I think some family thinks I am storing things vs purging. I even got a baking soda fridge freshener. How’s that for cluttering your fridge?!
But overall I am trying to do see all that I have as a reflection of the people that love me. Whether I keep them or not, I feel loved and that’s precious.
I’m curious to see what your extended family did to give knowing your new desire for minimalism…hope you guys had an amazing Christmas.
