Hey, Gina! Christmas stuffed animals are so cute. I really had to work hard this year not to buy every one I saw--especially Santa bears and some bears I saw that reminded me of stuffed animals I had when I was a kid.
I would ask the kids if they want them just in case they have special memories and would like to keep them. If they don't, you could donate them somewhere. Either way, I think it's a great idea to free up some room in the basement.
