When do your Christmas decorations come down? Or did you even put any up this year?

I wait until at last New Year鈥檚 Day to take them down, usually until 5-6th January but this year I might keep my tiny one up in my bedroom until the spring when I can put my Easter decorations up.

@Gingerbreadspice Nice. I hope your Easter tree turns out well!

When I feel that it's lighter
LadyBronte56-60, F
@Queendragonfly Well that's no fun! Sorry.
Queendragonfly31-35, F
@LadyBronte Thanks. Next time I'm letting her know that this year was no fun cause she was exhausted and stressed and wanted way more things than anyone of us had energy for. Her the least.

Her boomer "Everything must be done as it's always been done" isn't generating happiness.
LadyBronte56-60, F
Good luck with that situation. Can be difficult to navigate those family things. @Queendragonfly
Northerner70-79, M
Not put any decorations up for quite a few years now.But Mrs Northerner always insisted they stay up until the 12th night.lol
LadyBronte56-60, F
@Northerner I know a lot of people don't. I still do. The family expects it here when they come for the holidays.
smiler201256-60
@LadyBronte apart from the tree we have not got many decorations up our christmas tree and christmas cards probably will come down after new year
LadyBronte56-60, F
@smiler2012 Mine comes down after the first of the year too.

The Epiphany, the 13th day of Christmas. If you start counting on Dec 25th. Or the day after the 12th day of Christmas.

The Epiphany is a part of the Liturgical calendar and thus part of social calendars for many Christian societies. Like it's also the beginning of the Carnival or Mardi Gras season, also called the 3 Kings Day. The 3 kings traveled 12 days following the star to find and adore Jesus. Their arrival at Bethlehem marked the recognition of Jesus's significance to the whole world.

Day or 2 after new years. My town picks up the trees on Friday 1/5.
@AthrillatheHunt You never hear Jews talk about when they put away their dreidels. 馃ぃ

[i]Did you put your dreidels away? -- Huh?[/i]
LadyBronte56-60, F
@AthrillatheHunt There's no service like that here.
PerfectionOfTheHeart46-50, F
I always put them up kinda early鈥o the point where when Christmas finally rolls around it feels like they鈥檝e been up forever鈥o they come down early too. I鈥檝e already got a bookcase placed where the tree was. I鈥檓 that quick.
LadyBronte56-60, F
@PerfectionOfTheHeart Awesome! I'm never that quick to put things away after Christmas.
ArishMell70-79, M
Twelfth Night.

I don't put many up anyway, don't until a few days before Christmas; this year, Christmas Eve.

Put them up absurdly early as some people and many shop-keepers seem to think necessary, and they just become part of the furniture by Christmas Eve.
Adogslife61-69, M
Ours usually come down right on/after New Year鈥檚 Day. It鈥檚 a bit of a pain with a big tree.
LadyBronte56-60, F
@Adogslife Laughs. As am I mine. It's a perfect, cozy, glow for this cold snowy evening.
Adogslife61-69, M
@LadyBronte Snow! Nice. It鈥檚 always prettier when it snows, especially around Christmas.
LadyBronte56-60, F
@Adogslife Agree. It's warm and comfortable here on the sofa
- the view through the window, peaceful - I am content with a glass of wine and a sweet cat curled up next to me, sharing my cozy blanket.
Bri8931-35, M
I only have a small tabletop Christmas tree that I've had for a few years now. I don't go all out with Christmas decorations. I just don't have that sort of energy.
LadyBronte56-60, F
@Bri89 I can understand that. But a small tree is festive and perfect.
JustNik51-55, F
Most will come down before I go back to work on Tuesday next week, but I鈥檒l leave some up just to make the dark of winter a bit cozier.
LadyBronte56-60, F
@JustNik I miss them when I first put them away. The house seem so bare and dull. Lol.
Dainbramadge56-60, M
I am pretty adamant about getting them down no later than June or July.
LadyBronte56-60, F
@Dainbramadge Lol. Perfect plan!
PatKirbyM
When everyone else does around two-weeks to ten days after New Year's day.
LadyBronte56-60, F
@PatKirby Same.
BeachGirl4726-30, F
Week after new years
BeachGirl4726-30, F
@LadyBronte thats cool. I have family coming over on new years and they want to see mine.
LadyBronte56-60, F
@BeachGirl47 Fun! I host a NYE party for friends - I always leave them up for that too.
BeachGirl4726-30, F
@LadyBronte sounds good
Thevy2941-45, M
Cat owners. How many times did you have to put the tree back up?
LadyBronte56-60, F
@Thevy29 My cats don't bother the tree.
exexec61-69, C
My wife insists that they stay up until New Year's Day.
LadyBronte56-60, F
@exexec I do that too.
Yourguyinthecity51-55, M
I didn鈥檛 bother with decorating for Christmas this year.
LadyBronte56-60, F
@Yourguyinthecity It happens.
Sometimes you justdon't feel like it.
nedkelly61-69, M
my son takes them down on the 1st January every year
LadyBronte56-60, F
@nedkelly That used to be my day too, but now as long as they're down by the end of January, I'm alright with that.
Confined56-60, M
I helped my mom decorate. I myseld dont bother.
LadyBronte56-60, F
@Confined I know a few people who just don't bother with it. I do yoo much.
jackjjackson61-69, M
Today? No way? Much too soon.
LadyBronte56-60, F
@jackjjackson Mine are still up.

LadyBronte56-60, F

@DDonde Nice. Love a real tree!
AzlottoM
When they stop working. I usually get about six or seven years out of them. 馃槈
i put mine up a little later this year, so i will take them down late january.
LadyBronte56-60, F
@deathfairy I try for the first of January, but this year if I get them down before the end of January, I'm good.
iamonfire69641-45, F
Usually a week or two after Christmas
LadyBronte56-60, F
@iamonfire696 That's about what i shoot for.
iamonfire69641-45, F
@LadyBronte it makes me sad, I love all the decorations though but they need to come down.
LadyBronte56-60, F
@iamonfire696 Agreed!
