πŸŽ„How long do you think I can get away with keeping our Christmas tree up before the wife tells me to take it down?πŸŽ„ [EDIT] It is Down!


Some of you may remember that every year, here at Kings Towers, my wife and I have a psychological battle of epic royale proportions regarding the Christmas tree, which is plastic: -

More than 20 posters try to guess the date that it would eventually come down. Last year I finally crumbled on February 10th and the year before that was February 13th.

Time to place your bets - I'm going to try 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.

It finally came down on Sunday afternoon, February 2nd. GlenEllyn is this year’s winner!
