Congratulations on not watching tv if that makes you feel superior to others.  You do seem to spend your fair share of time reading these boards though I see. Have a great new year.

I totally agree with what you are saying here. I always felt like they couldn't wash away the holidays fast enough so that they could start selling us garden supplies. 

Happy New Year OhioMom!

The garden shows are just around the corner!  Looking forward to Cottage Farms & Phillip Watson and Roberta's & the Wallien brothers.

The set hasn't been over-the-top decorated, and it looks more Winter-y right now.  Most folks around here keep their trees through New Year's.  Even the ones who don't celebrate Christmas.  It's more of a Winter ambience for some.  I personally like the subtle, non-cluttered look on the sets. Keeps my eyes focused on the actual products/items being presented.   Edited to add: In our home, we have/like the cluttered Christmas look, with decorations all around.  ............ BTW, Happy, Healthy, Safe New Year to all.

Some religions believe in the twelve days of Christmas. We never took our decorations down until January 6.

Growing up, my family kept the tree up until the first weekend of the new year. If it was like this year where New Year's day fell on a weekend then the tree came down on the Sunday of that weekend. It was always on a weekend when our tree came down because both my parents worked all week and they were too tired to think about it.

Very true, I heard Carolyn say something the other day about we'll be seeing Philip Watson in a few weeks.

Alot of people leave the tree up till after the first week of January or the 6th of January.............after the Wise Men's visit to the manger..................raven

With all of the Clearance shows, perhaps this will add to the sales pitches.

Weren't these decorated trees put up at the end of summer?    With all of the pre-fall Christmas shows, I could be wrong, but thought they 'went up' extra early this year.
