What you have sounds unmanageable to me. Make your life easier

It's a 6&1/2 ft tree. No place to store it inside my apt. I have a storage closet accessible from outside. It will go in tree bag onto a shelf out there. I think I may be less ambitious with Xmas stuff next year. I used to just have my Nativity set, and I was happy with that. Smaller table top trees are nice. I like the ceramic ones you plug in.
This is just a hump I have to get over this year. When my boyfriend was alive, but disabled, he used to love watching me decorate. He bought a lot of the stuff when he was well. I, myself, would be very happy with less.
I need to declutter and streamline. I have used a professional organizer a few times over the past 2 years. Expensive, but was worth every nickle. A 3 room apartment easily becomes too congested with stuff. I used to be a minimalist. Then life happened.
Thanks. Spring comes soon in the Southwest. I'll feel better when I transition to Spring mode.
