I always take my tree down on Jan 1st.

That would be a little bit "radical" for us 😉

It makes perfect sense to take the tree down on January 5 because it is the 12th (and final) day of Christmas.

Well, to be honest, the real reason has been that yesterday was Sunday, during this week we are going back to work, and also because the Christmas tree was not "fresh" anymore.

I’ve got only just returned from holiday, so it’s still up. Plus I have to play the annual game of ‘how long can I get away with it before the wife makes me take it down’, lol.

You already have February 01 in the sweepstake.

[–] overseas7 (5071) 2 months ago

I think I said the 14th of February in your case.

I have you down for February 16th - good luck!

We boxed up and packed away the Christmas stuff on Thursday. I love the Christmas decor but it can be depressing too far into January.

I’m not sorry to not hear Christmas music for the next eleven months!

Ok, but the 5th of January is not "too far into J."
Not on the radio, but you can hear Christmas music every time you wish. In the same way, you can watch "home alone" anytime 😉.

I'll take mine down next weekend - that's about usual for me.

A bonus week for 102000!

Mines still up, mainly because my cat Rose likes it. It's only 2 feet tall and already came with lights. I'll eventually just unplug it and put it away
