> if you are forced to pay a life long recurring fee for the privilege.

I have to regardless of a storage unit or in a closet in my house. That closet in my home and that shelf in my garage isn't free either.

So then it's just a question of owning anything at all or nothing, because it all has a life long recurring fee for the privilege of continuing to own it. And yes, my family finds value in decorating for holidays as a part of celebrating, remembering, and keeping traditions alive.

Sometimes people don't just want to live in the same IKEA box 365 days a year.
