If it has been more than six months and you haven't yet found reason to unpack the box then you can safely just throw it away.

No, it's stuff we need and want. We just haven't finished fixing up the office enough to unpack it and organize it.

Personally, I can’t understand throwing stuff out just because you haven’t used it for a few months. To me that’s just as silly as never getting rid of anything at all. By your criteria, we should all throw out our holiday decorations – they only get used once a year, after all!

Actually, the rule I use is usually a year (and in pracitce really works out to longer than that) and there are exceptions (we haven't used what few Christmas decorations we have since 2001 but we still have them). But after a move, if I haven't used it in six months I think it is generally safe for me to assume I probably shouldn't have moved it in the first place.

All of this only kicks in once the official storage locations are overflowing. If everything can properly be stored away then I don't really care (which is why we still have the Christmas decoratoins; they're inside a coffee table where I don't really have anything to put in there anyway).

Ok, I have to laugh at this. My Christmas decorations are in dozens of large boxes, each the size of a coffee table.

Have you seen Christmas Vacation? They don't call me Sparky for nothin'!

And yes, you need the sunglasses when you come over!
