I've got a outside building full of Christmas ornaments. Mom never put out a tatering thing for Christmas, now that's hoarding. 

I think we all have the same mom/ MIL. Please tell me this isn't our destiny too!
So IDK where they came from, but last night my mom's kitchen tablet was FULLLLLLLL of random glass knicknacks & crap. Like figurines. IDK why, they have so much stuff already. She had my dad buy to heavy as hell glass front curio cabinets last month that she HAD to have. Stuffed them full of her crap & since she didn't have enough to fill it she goes and buys random garbage at the goodwill to put in them. Then her friend's neighbor was getting rid of some junk & she runs over there and takes it all. It's not even a case of 'I collect X', it's just I'll take whatever trash you don't want. I can't remember if I told you guys, but in December she called me at home early one morning before my kids went to school to ask me to come help her. My cousin was moving and THREW AWAY some stuff & my mom went over that morning to DIG THROUGH HER TRASH to see if she wanted any of it. I was called b/c my mom locked her keys in her trunk! So I drive up there and remove her back seat to get through the trash in her trunk to get the keys. Then while I'm struggling to get the keys she's telling me about her medical problems.. again. B/c she can't remember telling me about them & it seemed like a good time to complain about it. My kids were late to school b/c of it. And she's acting like it's no big deal.
Boxes of ratty old gross xmas ornaments she drags home, but then goes out and BUYS ornaments from store each year b/c she can't find hers, in the basement, that's packed FULL of junk. This year she even went as far to say that my cousin STOLE her ornaments to sell them for drugs. No, she didn't take the power tools, or kitchen appliances. The xmas ornaments. So yeah.. my mom's taterin' nuts.
