Yes, you can absolutely close a couple of your CC's "safely". First, from what you've said, it doesn't seem that it would be a major hit to your score anyway, and it would repair itself quickly as the months draw on. Also, you already own a home, college education, sailboat, cars, ... is there anything in the coming year or so that you expect to need a high credit score for? If not, then I wouldn't hesitate to close 1, 2, or even 3 of the ones you have but don't want.
