This weekend H went fishing, and met his dad and brothers down there. Every time we see a family member, his mom has something for us through them, and often it's a tacky knickknack meant to build up our seasonal décor.
Over Christmas, I got an ugly Santa figurine with some sparse glitter on him. That figurine honestly went in the trash as soon as we got home. This time, there is a little molded bunny that someone distressed in order to make it as ugly as possible, IMO, and a little green top hat ornament (I'm sure we're supposed to have hooks around the house like ILs do for these things) with some glitter writing for St. Patrick's Day. As soon as H forgets about their existence, they're both going in the trash too.
I think I've even said in the past (just brought up in conversation) that I don't do much in the way of seasonal décor because it's too much hassle for me to get it all out and put it all back constantly. I also think I've said that I don't like finding space for things that don't have much use. We create space for things with meaning around holidays, like the nativity scene and H's nutcracker collection from childhood, but we don't buy or keep little stuff just to have Christmasy things to put all over the house.
I respect that MIL takes the time to change all the decorative tea towels and put out her decorations, and she can decorate her own house in her style. Once again, though, she's really trying to decorate our house in her style because she doesn't understand that there are multiple valid ways of living one's life, and she genuinely thinks we need to build up our collection.
So... How much of this sort of stuff do you have in your house? Do you decorate a lot for major or minor holidays? Do you have space to store all these extra decorations? Do you have many purely decorative little items placed around your house?
(The snowglobe favor thread reminded me of this, because MIL is the only person I know who would probably keep the snowglobe indefinitely.)
