This thread is very sad , just like the OP, we have many years of decorations with lots of sentimental value. Unfortunately, the value is only to us, no one else has the same memories and puts next to zero value on the stuff. Christmas decorations are probably the number one thing one can buy for next to nothing at estate sales. We are hoping our daughter will embrace all our Christmas decorations she grew up with, or else they are just going out with the trash. Downsizing can be painful, but also rewarding. Storage in the Villages is very difficult without a basement or attic. Oh well, the trials and tribulations of being old. At least it's better than the alternative : )
