  5. +1 notthis, It looks awesome, but on the other hand kind of sends the wrong message to house guests ;)

  6. Usually a few days. By New Year's Eve all Xmas stuff is put away and I do a deep cleaning for the new year.

  7. I got them up early this year, so I will take them down a week after New Year. I leave them up at least a month,.

  8. Whatever weekend follows New Years' Day. Definitely by Valentine's Day. Never a day beyond Easter.

  9. I love how you just assume that the entire reading audience partake in this custom.
    Believe it or not .. some of us do not cut down a living evergreen, remove it from its natural environment, then drag it into the house.
    Some of us don't buy a plastic tree made in China. We don't see the need to copy Victorian habits from a couple hundreds years ago.
    And... if we are interested in "Jesus birthday"(a date no one knows anyway), we also know there were no evergreens in the Middle East. Jesus never would have seen one.

  13. Jeez, I think someone got touched by a christmas tree as a child.

    It's nice to have extra lights going around the winter solstice.

  16. I live in a town that's very Greek. Their Christmas is January 7th so it's customary for everyone to leave their decorations up until that day. I once left the tree up all year. I just picked it up and moved it to a sunroom. lol

  20. @ CNN Anchor Candy Crowley - Thank you for all the laughs, please keep them coming!

    I had an artificial tree that I kept up year round because it looked nice. I threw it out this week because of allergies.

    I am literally sick and tired of going to the emergency room. Now you know why I haven't been here lately. I ask for the CDAN community's prayers for recovery and healing. Thank you.

  31. Comes down after Second Christmas (Hobbit tradition), after Orthodox Christmas/ Epiphany around Jan 6th/7th. Unknown seems to not like Chrissy Decorations much but if you're going to Grinch get your facts right, 200yrs ago = Georgian not Victorian and the decorated tree tradition is not Victorian but Pagan Scandinavian/Celtic Solstice tradition. Granted the tree has nothing to do with Jesus who was probably born around March/April.

  32. We usually leave ours up until the first weekend after New Year's. Some years it stays up until the weekend after Ukrainian Christmas. We aren't Ukrainian, but who's to know?

  33. I can’t be bothered to put up a Christmas tree, but growing up my mother always took the tree down after Three Kings Day.
