We put up our tree the last week of November. Outdoor lights went on the middle of November. Yup we are early but i love it. Actually there were only 4 houses decorated with lights this year. So Sad! I am Ukrainian so we dont put our tree away until Jan 14th. Ukrainian Christmas eve is Jan 6 and Christmas is Jan 7 and then off course theres New years. Thats why Jan 14th. When do you take down your tree?
We actually took ours down last night.
We were staying in for NYE and thought it was a great opportunity to take it all down (we were both home and school starts next week and things will get really busy again).
I miss it already!! haha
a week ago.. ??
only because i knew life was going to get busy here and with parents appts. im helpin with.. plus it felt good to just clear the house.
who knows it may have been the last time i did it. will see.
I prefer to have it thrown out on December 31st (like having the house all clean and neat for the New Year) so we took all the decorations down yesterday and the tree is outside. Everything is put away in storage, waiting for next Christmas.
We've always kept our tree up until after "Little Christmas", since I'm Ukrainian, but this year....it's all gone! The tree in the front window blocks so much light and I do love light, love no clutter, so everything is gone for another year! Nice to put up, just as nice to take down. Our outdoor lights will still light up on Jan 6 and 7...
I am planning on doing it a.s.a.p. hopefully Monday when the kids go back to school. The lights outside have been off since last week.
My Mum always did it on Jan 1-so we took it down today!
I take ours down the day after Epiphany. I usually put it up.the first Sunday of Advent...
January 4th.
We took it down this afternoon :)
Usually goes down Jan 1 but cats love it so staying for the weekend then gone.
We took it down this morning. Took the decorations down too but still have the outdoor lights up. It's kind of sad. I think Christmas comes and goes to fast! ;)
usually jan1 but we've been renovating our kitchen for this past week and haven't had time to do it. maybe on sunday.
I recommend prior to your community chipping or burning...
I'm taking mine down tomorrow...
