I have a confession to make...

[Tuffcookie]

I just, today, took the Christmas tree down! There, I feel so much better for telling you that!

LOL, it's only 11 months till you'll need it again, you should have just left it up.

that it was a live tree...............!!

 

[Wish Upon A Star]

Hmmmmmmmmmm . . . maybe I can give you some of my neighbor's numbers and tell them that their outside xmas lights are about ready to be shut off now . . .LOL

I love Xmas BUT after New Year's Eve I love getting my house back to normal . . .

 

[BCVOwner2002]

Well . . . I just gave my last Christmas gift today!!! DS and a friend have been trying to get together since Christmas but due to conflicting school and work schedules have not had a chance to see each other. Finally, today they went pond skating and exchanged gifts! I told him if he waited a few more weeks he could give the gift to his friend for his birthday! LOL

Hey, I just took mine down last weekend. Don't feel bad, TC! I'm usually so organized about stuff like that, but this year I've been so busy that I left it up.

Of course, I had three trees up this year, and did manage to get the live one and the smaller fake one down on January 7th, but the big fake one I just couldn't get around to taking down.

I considered leaving it all done and just chucking it in the basement but I finally got off my lazy butt and took all the decorations down and packed away.

If it weren't so darn cold out - my outside lights would be down - but they look pretty in the snow right now

 

[nativetxn]

We didn't have a tree this year, but if we had one my mother would have been taking it down on New Year's Eve. She would rather take it down on 12/26 but I won't let her

 

[Tulirose]

And I thought I was the world's best procratinator!! LOL They do say confession is good for the soul... glad you feel better about it now.

One DB & SIL confessed last night that their tree is still up - I have a feeling they're taking care of it today! I hate putting the stuff up too early, but gosh, I hate taking it down!

 

[NancyIL]

Our tree just came down yesterday!

 

[Towncrier]

Sue is still carrying around a Christmas present in our minivan that is awaiting delivery. I was thinking about asking her if she might just put it away and give it to her friend next Christmas.

 

[sorcerormickey]

Oh, thank goodness TC......I was not the only one. I just took down the 3 of ours today. I am so glad it done!!! Now, my house looks nekkid......

 

[MerryPoppins]

You guys are making me feel a little better. Mine is still up. No lights or ornaments are on it. Just the angel on the top. The three tree boxes are in my living room, but DH has had to work all weekend. Guess I may have to take it down.

 

[BethR]

Ours just came down today, TC. So you are in very good company.

 

[JasonLyons]

wow we could just feel your energy thru net

 

[shortbun]

We took ours down last weekend. But the rest of the
decorations got put away yesterday. We celebrate
Christmas until Epiphany(that's when the "wise" men
figured out who Jesus was and gave him gifts!) also-
"the 12th day of Christmas!!!" or Jan.6th. So-I'm always
draggin out putting the decor away. It does make your
house look bare.

 

[Helopoh]

My tree came down the day after christmas this year....Usually not til the first weekend in Jan but Down it came Jan 26th.

 

[MerryPoppins]

I took everything Christmasy down right after Epiphany, except this stupid tree! Still a tree in my house. I may win the award this year!

I still have my tree up... and the lights are on most nights. My kid sister's iguana likes to climb the tree, it's in the corner and out of my way. It's an artificial tree... but when I take it down it's going directly to the dumpster... YUCK!
