take down your Christmas tree?
I hate to be all "bah humbug" about it but the second the presents are unwrapped and Dec 25 is past, I want that tree gone. I'm thinking about taking it down today. This weekend for sure.

Today. I'm leaving for a week, it's gotta go. Hannah and I undecorated (is that a word?) last night, and I'll toss it in the woods in a few minutes. She hugged it and said goodbye.
Yes, she's a dirty treehugger just like me.

I'm like you. I want things back to normal ASAP. I used to argue fire hazard with a drying tree, when I was a kid.

I was a charmer.

It's been there for a month, we got it early, so I don't feel guilty letting it go.
Really, it's a financial decision. I can't bring myself to purchase a tree to only leave up for a couple of weeks. One month, regardless of when that month starts, is the way I figure it, haha.

Aww, that's so cute!
We got a fake tree about a week before Christmas. I was thinking of taking it down after New Year's. At my parents' house, the only real stipulation was that the tree be taken down before my mom's birthday (Jan 28). There is a huge bier with 30+ years worth of rotting pine corpses behind the house.

My wife says ours is starting to smell like pickles. So I'm thinking I should take it down about a week ago.

I'll be taking mine down Sunday. I'd do it Saturday, but we still have relatives to visit that we missed at Christmas, yay!
Poor thing needs to be put out of its misery. It's dying and a lot of the limbs are sagging, haha.
I also use the one month rule too, Nexa. And pretty much for the same reasons.

I'm not taking mine down until MrKatie comes home next month. I bought a potted live tree that stands about 2 ft tall. I'm leaving his presents under it and fully decorated until he comes home.

I don't put to much stock in to her sense of smell lately. Since she's pregnant everything smells like pickles, or ice cream, or pickles in ice cream. Which either smells great, or makes her gag, depending on what hour it is....

Probably this weekend. I haven't bothered to water it since Christmas Eve so it's got to go down soon before it changes from a Christmas tree to a plain dead evergreen.

Pregnant again?? I thought you knew what caused that!
congrats!

I thought so too. That's why we were so carefull not to get stung by any bees! It is possible that I was stung and then she was stung while we were too busy making it to notice. That might explain it I guess.

The tree (which is fake) must stay up at least until New Year's Day. It's the law. The LAW I tells ya!

Usually around St Patrick's day I get hammered enough on cheap green beer to light it on fire on the lawn. All the cops and fire fighters are passed out anyway, so it's win/win really. Ahhh Boston.

My mom had a rule that we had to take the tree down after the Epiphany. Then we also took down the crib. Baby Jesus has to get this gifts, before the tree comes down.

I find this apparently common (it's not here at all) tradition very disturbing. The idea that seemingly millions of people have tiny plastic Christ dolls they act out little pageants with makes my skin crawl.

No plastic baby Jesus for my mom's crib. She collected these as a child and most were paper machete or porcelain. At least one of the camels had a broken leg and the manger had real straw.
We would use a candy dish with some white grass for a cloud to place the angel.
I don't own a naviaty scene, and just put my Lego Vikings with their siege engine next to my fake tree.
Instead of a camel with a broken leg, I have Jonwin to baby since his left leg is in cast. After locking himself out side on balcony at work, he thought he could just drop down from the second floor, like the bike thief did last month. He forgot he was a lot older and fact that such feats only are for the foolish youth and stunt men.

Crazy hippies.

About 1 week more of tree is the maximum my allergies can stand.
