Repeat until automatic:

I am not their archivist (except for the SCA, where I still sorta am).
I do not need utility bills for the house we sold more than a year ago.
I do not need any utility bills from my mother's accounts.
I do not need credit card statements other than those showing big purchases where I might have to make a warranty claim.
I do not need pay stubs prior to the current year, except enough to document my salary history. And if I have the raise letter from the relevant employer, not at all.
I do not need old cancelled checks, except for mortgage documentation etc. and charitable deductions.

If I can just get rid of that much, I should have enough office space to file the rest!

Pictures: yes
Holiday (and birthday) cards: no
Wedding cards: still keeping
Annual letters: somewhere in the middle

Once I get the desk and the boxes near it under control, there's several more boxes in the store-room that will be a whole nother problem: photos taken by or of my parents and their friends. I've already established that some of those can go - my dad liked to take pictures of his own garden, and I really don't need 'em. But pictures of my parents at Lake George with their chums Dick and Dotty Moore (e.g.), those will take more deciding.
