Momentos
What kind of momentos do you keep? Invitations, wedding announcements, birth announcements, birthday cards, Christmas cars, etc.
You thought this was gonna be about those candies didn't you?

I find that being sentimental only takes up space; so I'm keeping less and less each year! I keep cards from my husband, Sons, and granddaughters...

I keep Christmas cards. I have almost all my wedding paraphanalia and some of my high school prom stuff. Anything that has happy memories.

That is a guy thing. Females SAVE momentos...but guys are simply too lazy to throw it in the garbage can.

That's called garbage. Most people throw that stuff away before the house smells. |

It's not in our culture to send postcards, it's considered "oldschool". My family hardly ever sent a card. That's why I kept a few letters my mom sent me since I'm in France.
Other than that, I keep the tickets of the art exibit shows that I found most impressive - a Matisse, a Sisley, a Monet (just tickets, of course). At times, when something impresses me, I buy the postcard of it - at these exibitions. I also bought pics of Marilyn Monroe... for myself.
