The Tyranny of "Stuff" at Christmas!!

[Papers of Indenture]

I spent a bunch of time this week cleaning out junk and creating a pile of crap to take to the dump. My wife has a habit of accumulating dollar store items She is thrifty but she can't keep her hands off of assorted jars, containers, and seasonal decorations from the dollar store.

Felt that Christmas Stuff Tyranny leaning on me and needed to do something.

This year I try to keep xmas minimal. I will slurge on consumables, but otherwise I will not buy unneeded stuff. My wishlist includes a few books and an e-book reader. I hoarded on financial books with humble bundle and I can't access them reasonably now.

I will gift wine, chocolates and a few books.
I ask for a few books and time to actually read them. But that has been my wish for a couple of years already. Never had the time to read the damn books ( Piketty, Adam Smith).

But I need to create the semblance of xmas for dear kid. So that means spending a ton for unneccessary arrangements.
