What I've 'Bin' Up To (Yuk-Yuk!)

 

Since Christmas is coming on (today is 11/24/25) and I’ll have to sling around the bins looking for Christmas stuff, and since the old Bin List is out of date because of shuffling, I thought I’d make an updated guide. Doing a bit at a time, I’ll start with those at the head of the bed. Counting down from the top of the stacks. Finished on 11/27/25.

So that makes 24 bins out in the house, with who knows how many more in the ‘attic.’ Three or four in the closets. I’ve removed my Christmas decorations from the bin but will wait until at least past noon to set them up. At my advanced age I’ve pared it down to basics, but I will always at least put up the stockings and the Noel banner. Sometimes my descriptions are a little cryptic, but they make sense to me.
