Cindy in FL. Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Christmas afternoon! A month is long enough. Kids insist it go up the day after Thanksgiving. If they would let me wait I might be willing to keep it up until January. Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggie Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 It's coming down tonight. As much as I hate to be so Scrooge-ish, it must because we need to completely rearrange the living room. We need to set up the play pen so baby girl has a safe place to crawl around and play when I can't keep an eye on her. The corner where we need to put it is how we access the under stairs storage and that's where all the decorations go, so I figure we might as well do it now. Hopefully next year it can stay out longer. I'm hoping the crawling baby and curious toddler will have outgrown their desires for pulling on the ornaments.

Night Elf Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Tomorrow!! Normally I do it on the 26th but my mom and stepdad came over today to exchange gifts so I left it up. All Christmas items are being put away tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I don't want it to come down until after January 2nd because we are having friends over that night whom we haven't exchanged gifts with yet. It won't feel like Christmas if the decorations aren't up. I'm hoping we can leave them up until that Wednesday the 4th or better yet, that next Saturday, the 7th. I love them being up and feel sad when we put them away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Never. We have an artificial tree and it stays up all year long. Makes getting ready for Christmas a lot easier, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Today (but usually Christmas night). Trees are down, house is clean, closets are organized...we are moving on to the New Year. I love Christmas, but when it is over, I want my house back. ;) ETA: Tree went up around the 16th, down by the 26th. 10 days is all I could stand with 5 cats in the house...

Lovedtodeath Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I wanted to leave it up until Resurrection Sunday, since to me it represents eternal life, but DH doesn't want to leave it up, so probably after Epiphany for us as well.

LBS Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 If the tree got up when I want it, soon after Thanksgiving, I'd go on and take it down on New Year's Day, but depending on when kids get home, and we can all go get the tree, it might stay up till second week of January....total about a month. Its so cheering to have, I don't feel like clearing it away too quickly, want to enjoy it. Got it up late this year, so I reckon we'll have it till after the second week of January...ha!

StaceyinLA Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 I was actually contemplating taking ornaments off tonight, but will probably do that tomorrow. It might stay up a day or two after that with just the lights. Our living room is fairly small though, and we rearrange everything to put the tree in, so I'm usually quite ready for it to go. We put it up the weekend after Thanksgiving. I'll admit that this one will be hard to take down. It is probably the prettiest tree we have ever had, and it still smells amazing!

Starr Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Ours went up a few days before Christmas and always stays until at least Epiphany. This year all the decorations will stay up so dd can have a Christmas party with her friends when they come back to college. They were all too busy with finals but drew names for gifts, then complained that the dorm wouldn't be decorated when they got back. Dd told them our house would be. :D We love our Christmas decorations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingiguana Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 No earlier than Jan 6 -- it's still Christmas until then, folks! Every year I think I really should just pick up a tree Christmas night from someone else's trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Ours always comes down when dh is off for New Year's, so this year it will be this next weekend. If I could take it down myself, I am ready, but I tend to make a bigger mess of things, so I will refrain. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila in OK Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Ours came down last night. It was drying out quite a bit and dropping needles like crazy so I couldn't stand it any longer! I would've taken it down Christmas night but the kids were horrified at that thought so I gave them one more day. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
