Does anyone still have their Christmas tree up?

[HeLiXe]

When do you plan on taking it down?

Martin Luther King's birthday...whether it's ready or not.

When I was a child we once had ours up until Easter

When do you plan on taking it down?

When is the first day of Christmas? When is the twelfth day of Christmas? When is Christmastide?

 

[Evo]

I haven't put it up yet.

Too many questions and I don't know the answers

I haven't put it up yet.

I bought a tiny one made of wire and glitter for my mom since she's visiting. I hadn't given it a thought until she said "I have to take my Christmas tree down." lol

We never put one up. My wife is horribly allergic to fir and spruce, as is her brother. For us, the food is the holiday(s).

Our neighbors make us a beautiful decorated spruce wreath for our front door every year (ever since we moved up here) and that's all the decoration that we need. We are always the first neighbors to be allowed to pick a wreath from the completed set (Thanksgiving) and the husband, wife, and daughter have a running competition to guess which one we'll pick. It's a pretty nice place to live. We're invited to their house to spend Christmas with them and the grand-daughters, and we bring Duke so he can get his presents and visit with his buddy Max.

Yes.

I have an Avocado tree that I started from seed about 20 years ago, but I live in a freeze zone, so it's been my living room guest from Nov 1 until about the end of March since birth. Hence, it's been my Christmas tree for most of those years.

I'll probably take the lights down when I boot it out this spring.

Down, down, down.

Since living in the south for the last 3 years, I realize how closely tied weather is to my sense of season. It snowed tons (for down here) on Christmas night. So once it rained on Sunday and all the snow was finally melted, it had to go down. Plus it was dropping needles like a Labrador Retriever sheds in summer.

Wow! Do you get fruit? Specifically, avocados?

No...

Nor does my mini-me 20 year old lemon of an auxiliary christmas tree.

For years, I had a grapefruit tree that I started from a seed. It was beautiful with lovely smooth leaves. Never got a blossom, nor a single chance for fruit.

Our little fake Christmas tree that sits on an end table is still there. So are the three reindeer candles on our breakfast table. We'll probably take everything down next weekend.

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

No. And I don't still beat my wife either.

That's good to hear >_>

Turbo-1, do you still have your wreath up?
Those candles are so cute jtbell :)

That wreath will be up until spring. My wife and I love the look.
