🎄How long do you think I can get away with keeping our Christmas tree up before the wife tells me to take it down?[EDIT] It’s down, InquiringMind wins


Some of you may remember last year, here at Kings Towers, my wife and I had a psychological battle of epic royale proportions regarding the Christmas tree: -

More than 20 posters tried to guess the date it would eventually come down and I finally crumbled on February 13th.

Time to place your bets - I'm going for one better and will aim for February 14th (Valentine's Day). Each day can only be allocated to one poster, so bet now to avoid disappointment.

Maybe I could evolve the tree to take itself down?

THAT SOUNDS LIKE A SPOOKY, PSUEDO-SEXUAL RICK & MORTY PLOTLINE.

If you want to keep it standing as long as possible, YOU do the vaccuuming!

That's why people take their Christmas trees down, they shed so many needles they create more work than they're worth, so if you want to keep the tree up YOU be the one to do that work.

It’s plastic.

No reason you shouldn't leave it up all year then, except for embarrassment!

reply

Well, first we make it a Chinese New Year tree, then a Valentines tree, then an Easter tree, lol.

reply

Why the hell not! Show pictures of your Halloween tree.

reply

That’s the spirit! Maybe an Eid al-Fitr tree, a Mothers Day tree, a Fathers Day tree, a Diwali tree. I’m sure there’s a few more we can think of, lol.

And on April 22, take off all the ornaments and call it your Earth Day Tree!

A plastic Earth Day tree, hur hur...

We still need a date from you.
