When do you guys take down your trees?

[Blue07]

Here comes to difficult part after all the buzz and hype of the best time of the year ...

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!

thank you for your kind wishes. I put off taking mine down, too. But, usually, I take it down by January 2nd. This year I might keep it up a little longer; not sure though. Have a blessed and joyous New Year everyone!

A very Happy New Year everyone. I will start taking down my trees in about 2 weeks. It will take me until the end of January to take everything down.

Normally I would take mine down on January 6 the (Three Kings) but this year I took it down the day after Christmas Because it was dead as a door nail::

I'll wait until the middle of january, it's difficult to do this, always a sad moment !

Middle to the end of January - outside will come down this next week on the first warm day. I am never in a hurry to take down the rest - I just love Christmas too much so will take it down in stages. The living room will be the last because I just love going in there with just the tree lights on with a glass of wine at the end of the night - there is just something magical about it all ......

Hi, can you tell me what the Three Kings is?

Everyone forces me to take it down mid January...I was lazy one year and left it up past Valentines, and they practically had an intervention. "We're worried about you, please take down the tree." I suppose I didnt have to keep it plugged in but...

Haha! I was wondering about how long it would that you to take everything down Crazymike!

I think I will take my tree down this weekend. Seeing it in my living room now is a reminder that Christmas is over

My mother and my husband's parents always took the tree down on New Year's Day. I try to do that, too. But some years I leave it up a few days longer. This year I took all the ornaments off on New Year's Day and will take the tree down on January second. I'm not really sad. My smaller trees are still up in the dining room. And I leave the tree in the guest room up year round.

Thank you for your kind wishes, blue, and happy new year to you.
