I've been fond of minimalism for years. Not the exaggerated kind where everything is bare walls and empty shelves, but the kind of decluttering and minimalism that allows you to live in harmony with the stuff you use, need, and love.
After Christmas, this balance can take a bashing, whether it's due to the temptation of holiday sales, an influx of lovely gifts, or the busy nature of the season, where maintaining a clutter-free household may fall to the side.
