Ours goes up the weekend following Thanksgiving and comes down Mid January.

Like a lot of you, in a perfect world my tree would stay up all year long!

And the funny is that my dad finish before I get back from work..
Then, he cooks something and waits for me to come home. He knows that Im sad and stays home till late, talking to me about irrelevant things..

:smitten:

The house looks so empty, though...

Oh my gosh, that is so nice. If my Dad were here, I know he would do that for me too. Cherish your parents.
Christmas just means so much more for some of us. That's just the way it is, and there's nothing wrong with that.:smitten::santa-smiley:

:candycane1:It's always been a tradition in my family to take ours down on New Years day or it's bad luck. I don't know where it came from, but that's how we roll

My main tree goes up as early as possible and is taken down when I'm embarrassed that it's still up(usually mid January). The tree in the guest room stays up year round.

Usually the day or two after Christmas. Since we put it up on Black Friday we are anxious to take it down.

Let's see...trees go up starting in early November and go down sometime in January. If not, I end up taking it down during the Superbowl!!! *heheheh*

I probably already answered this last year but, here goes. I start putting up our trees either Thanksgiving night or the day after and I usually take it down (to the complaints of my youngest son) by January 2nd.

We go get ours on the Saturday of Thanksgiving week and take it down any time from 28 December to 31 December, depending on how dry it is. :christmastree:

So when do you guys take your trees down? Mine is still up and I still leave the lights on. I usually take it down during the first weekend of January. It's such a depressing thing to do so I tend to keep putting it off ... and wait impatiently for the excitement to mount again next year.

Ah ... what a cycle life is! I hope 2009 brings love, health, strength and peace to everyone here! :tree:

I leave mine up until the day after New Years. My husband thinks that's even to long, but not me!

Mine used to be like that too; years ago (we've been married 29 years). On the other hand, I do all the decorating on my own and I take it all down too. If he said anything, then he'd be helping!

:elf1:

(p.s. He knows my new Christmas stash is accumulating in the dining room. He won't even go in there.)

She must be a light eater! Every Christmas dinner I remember everybody is dog tired and to full to move. Where does she even get the energy?
10-14-2009, 03:35 AM
steph535

yes, I suppose she is. Also, she is just itching to get the Christmas stuff all put away because she says she just wants her house back. And the thing is, her decorations are SO lovely. I just don't get it at all. My family is like yours, we are all stuffed and sleepy after dinner.

I usually leave mine up till the first weekend after New Years, sometimes later. I like having it all up, but is a big hassle packing everything away. :(

I've known people who take the trees down between Xmas and New Years, and once in a while I've been known to leave my tree up well into February (gasp!) hahaha.

Usually take ours down near the middle of January.

My wife always wants to take it down sooner, but I always win that battle! :tree1:
