When do you take down your Christmas tree? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Charlie barks at the Christmas trees sitting on the curbs. Especially the white ones. It's hilarious. I wonder what he thinks they are. haha

Well, our tree and decorations are down and most are ready for storage. I keep my snowmen up until spring and I will still plug in one of our lighted trees as I love the twinkling lights. My house looks bare as I haven't put all our daily decorations back! It is a little of a let down when all the festive decorations and twinkle of the tree is gone!

Waaaa....missed my tree last night. I get so used to the lights and the glamour of having it while it's up that I really do miss the first days after it's gone. I just enjoy looking at it day after day. Wish there was something to replace it that was as warm and pretty, especially evenings.

Get an indoor tree and put lights on it. My mom had an outdoor tree that was in a pot to grow until it was strong enough to make it through the seasons to put it in the ground. Well the poor tree died. My mom painted it, strung it with these string light lanterns that she found at Lowes clearance for $1 and hung decorations on it. It looks like a year round Christmas tree almost and has such a pretty glow to it. Makes her miss the twinkle of her tree a little less! I think it's a great idea, I might do something like that!

Great idea. I may be driven to do something like that this year. My tree is down so early(for me)this year that I'm definitely having withdrawal and in bad need of a twinkling light fix!

I took mine down today. I would have kept it up for a few more days, but today was my best option. Annie09, you are right about the house looking bare. I'll probably buy a new plant tomorrow to help fill the void.

mine came down on the 26th My oldest daughter had it down and put away before I got back home (had to run my mom to the dentist) We had lots of company and needed the room for kids to play But I usually take it down that early

Well we were gonna take it down this weekend but it snowed and we can't get to the shed to get the boxes and stuff for the Christmas stuff so it will have to wait until the next weekend.

Ours came down today. I Used to have it down by the 30th cause that's one sons birthday and I didn't want it looking like Christmas on his special day. But he's married now and wasn't here for his birthday, so I had a little extra breathing room. But it's all done, just gotta vacuum and get everything back in its place. I feel good when it is all clean and back to the way it is normally. I do like the twinkling lights, but I have a tree in my back yard that has a string of lights on all year that I can see out my window. Just seeing the little twinkle makes me happy.

The first day of Christmas is Dec 25th!!! There ARE 12 days of Christmas!!!

I like to celebrate them all!

I do have the outdoor decorations down, the 2 trees in the formal livingroom are down (we don't sit in there much esp.in the winter).
The YORKIE TREES (yes, I have 2 small trees with Shelby, Seymour, & Seegers ornaments on them) are still up along with my winter wreaths and garland. I also have some arrangements & center pieces that are still out and my SNOWMEN will stay out. I think some of my "winter decor" will stay up thru January... snowmen, greenery, holly.... Love the white lights on my "winter wreath" with Crystal & purple decor... it really makes the room say "brrrr it is winter time"!!!
