in Chit-Chat
Alright got the idea of this thread (not sure if another was started) because I see others saying about still having trees up. So whether they maybe fake or living trees....How many of you have your Christmas trees still up?!

My family still has their live tree still up! I'm just surprised how long it is lasting.

    Never had one up. I avoid all holidays like the plague. Too much work for zero reward.

    My fake tree is still up. I kept a live tree up until the end of January once and scratched the hell out of my arms when I finally dragged it out. Don't judge me :-(

    I'll admit to liking seeing the tree still up. I like the colorful lights! :bigsmile:

    I took the little tree in my room down a few days ago. I was gonna leave it up until after Valentine's Day cause it's pink, but I changed my mind.

    We never put our Christmas decorations up this year, since we moved cities in December. It slipped right under the rug basically!
    Our decorations usually don't last past December though. c:

    Mine is. Ever seen that Everybody Loves Raymond episode about the suitcase that nobody would carry upstairs? Yeah, right now that's my life, its a battle of wills between me and the hubs. I am honestly about to break though, even though I really hate losing.

    That made me literally LOL that is totally what the tree is going to become if I don't break soon, I swear I will just leave it up until next year to prove a point, I am wicked stubborn like that.

    Took it down Jan 1, but last year I left mine up and decorated it with Valentines s@#t. I ended up squeezing the tree with lights still on it, Duct Taped the box up nice and tight. This year putting up the tree took hours to get all those stupid brokens lights off. I was sick of it before I put it up so I was in a major hurry to get it put away. Without the lights this time:ohwell:

    Fake tree & decorations go up early as possible as long as it's after December 1st, come down January 6th. :)

    lol, yes! I remember that episode, one of my favorites!

    If you really want to get your husband thinking about the tree (if it is a living tree) leave pin nails around on the floor.

    This. Except Halloween. I'm the *kitten* on my block that puts up decorations at the beginning of September and leaves them up until the week before Thanksgiving. I do not decorate for any other holiday.

    No way, we have a live tree every year and it goes down around January 2nd or 3rd. I'm over the holidays at that point and want everything put away.

    I live in New jersey, and that b*tch, Sandy, sucked the life out of me.

    Our tree is not still up (very small, fake tree). And the wooden painted stand that we made to hang the stockings on is taken down as well. But, the decorations that my children made out of paper are still up, and we have an earth globe on the table that the tree was on. Even though the tree is down, it's still in my profile photo (or at least, it is one of the photos I rotate in).
