Got A 'hall closet'?

Anyone else have a 'hall closet'? Actually, its a small bedroom that holds the Christmas/Halloween/Thanksgiving/Easter/4th of July decorations, several tubs of keepsake toys, all the prom dresses the dear daughters could not bear to part with and their china dolls, books that don't fit on the over stuffed bookshelves, broken lamp, the hugh Bread Box your youngest child will not let you get rid of because that is how she learned to spell B-R-E-A-D, suitcases, tent (still in the box) dear daughter won at a school function, couple of boxes of dust collectors I could not part, extra blankes/quilts, baby clothes, lighted 5' Fig Tree from daughters wedding, old broken stero, etc...You get the picture. Anyway, my question is....How do you clean it out???? I have tired several times, I end up moving things around but thats about it. My GOAL is to try and get some things out and give them to my daughter who is having a yard sale this week. Wish me luck!!!!!!!!

Not sure how to answer that question. I kept one outfit that each of the kids wore.

If it was me I guess I would make box for each child with one outfit or what ever else they might want.

Then take everything else and throw it all together.... then as fast as you can take them to the yard sale pile and leave.

DON'T LOOK BACK!!! LOL

Sounds like my bonus room that we can't even let people in because it's got too many things in it.

I think we all have a room like that. I have the same problems with getting rid of things and having a good way to store decorations. When you figure out the best way to do it. Let us all know.
