When You All Taking Your Christmas Tree Down? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

emilyann · 12-30-2008, 03:22 PM

Took mine down the other night. My boyfriend jumped my crap telling me that I needed to get it down before New Years because it's bad luck to still have it up. We moved right before Christmas though and our downstairs is reallyyyy open compared to our old house. We did good at the old place to fit the couch in the living room. Now, I have allllllll this room and it looks SO weird without the tree now. I feel like it looks like a bachelor lives here

Though it is a bit of an anticlimax when I have to spend the evening clearing everything away!

I still have my tree(s) up!!!
I am going to enjoy them at least thru the 6th.... probably a bit past that.

The decorations on the outside of the house (with the exception of the window candles) have been taken down. My hubby decided that because the weather is suppose to start getting nasty here tomorrow, he wanted to take it down while it was DRY.
I am looking forward spending New Years Eve and New Years Day with dh and furbutts and the "warmth" of the Christmas trees all lit up with some good movies.

I keep mine up till the weekend after New Years...But shouldn't be such a chore taking it down this year as I only put 1/3 of it up on top of one of my speakers. It's getting to hard to put the entire tree up by myself (which is over 8 ft tall). My kids laughed at me and said that in the past I have always had the huge tree with all the decorations, this year it was a nice compact tree mainly yorkie decorations...

I still have all of my decorations up and haven't even considered taking them down yet! They will stay up at least until the 12 days of Christmas are over. Probably around mid January I'll take everything down.

Mine usually comes down the weekend after Christmas, but because it fell on Thursday this year I'm leaving it up til New Year's Day. We bought a "slim tree" this year and it is so much less intrusive that I am really in no hurry to take it down!

bettyeanne · 12-30-2008, 08:07 PM

never!!

He always decorates our tree all by himself and it's always gorgeous! Soooo .... when he gets ready to take it down, he will. However .... if it stays up beyond mid-January .....

YorkieMom55 · 12-30-2008, 08:52 PM

I usually wait until after New Years to take them all down. This year we have friends coming for New Years so I took the big tree down on the 29th. That's the one I had the expen around and I need to use it this week. Still have the nutcrackers & village in the kitchen above the cupboards. And I left the 5' spiral tree up in the frontroom.

Bubble & Squeak???? What kind of sprouts???Help me out here, please. I've led such a sheltered life.

Bellas_mommy · 12-30-2008, 09:12 PM

...as a family we take down ALL the deocration (indoor and outdoor) on New Years Day

stedmansmommy · 12-30-2008, 10:12 PM

We took ours down Sunday.

We didn't want to, and we usually wait until after New Years...but hubby actually OFFERED to help me this time and like I was going to pass THAT up!

So, we did it

The trash man will come and pick it up on Saturday....WAHHHHHH!

I get sooo depressed every year when we take it down. It seems like you just get the thing put up, then you trun around and it's already time to take it down again

Christmas just comes and goes wayyyy too fast. I hate it

lreed · 12-30-2008, 11:16 PM

Took the tree down on Monday. I felt like a slackard even then, because my daughter had her's down on Dec. 26th. I'm becoming a Christmas "Grinch"....I hate putting it up and I hate taking it down. I do like to sit in the room with just the Christmas tree lights on. It's sooooo soothing!

MeganS · 12-30-2008, 11:24 PM

We take down the live tree a few days after Christmas, cause it's dying and that creates messes and broken ornaments when the branches break!

So that came down yesterday.

But my Charlie Brown tree in my room...well....that may still be waiting to come down next Christmas.

I just LOVE that thing! It took me til the middle of January to say goodbye to it last year!

AVERYxo · 12-30-2008, 11:45 PM

we will probably take ours down new year day or the day after!

i love Christmas.. and it's so sad because it seriously FLEW by this year!

cheryl19 · 12-31-2008, 03:32 AM

Up in the north it's COLD!! so the other day it got up to 50

so I got all the outside lights done!! (thank god, now it's cold and snowing again) And most of the inside is done but the tree, that comes down this weekend. If I put all the gifts away Christmas day the tree mess doesn't get to me.

Happy New Year to everyone

Josie's Mom · 12-31-2008, 09:13 AM

Awwww..... I would like to keep our's up till the
6th (Three Kings Day).

It took a long time to decorate everything, so I'm going
to try to keep it up for as long as I can.

(shhhh....my Mother in law has had her's up for the last 2 years
in a row) I think I'll offer to help her put it away this year.
