[quote=Anonymous]1) Opt out of secret santa and white elephant whenever possible. Just say no, you don't want the junk people give you, and no one wants the junk you will give. There will be times this doesn't work because of social pressure, but when you can say no, do it. 2) Don't start the elf on the shelf tradition with your kids, it is just a path to make work for the parents. Instead do traditions that are meaningful for your family...ours are Wolf Trap Sing Along and gingerbread house making. 3) Use the Amazon boxes (or similar) that arrive at your house as a way to declutter the house for the holidays. Take each Amazon box as it arrives, and just do a quick spin around the house picking up clutter to donate. Then close the box and put it in your car trunk. Then when you pass a goodwill or similar drop off all the boxes. [/quote]
