After Christmas Poll

KKJ — Tue, 31 Dec 2019 22:06:34 GMT

Are you someone who leaves your Christmas tree & decor up way past new years or do you take it all down right after Christmas? I get antsy and take all mine down before NY day.

I pack my tree and decorations up on New Years Day while watching the bowl games.

It will be up for another week, my tree is so pretty, I'm keeping it up as long as I reasonably can.🎄

I leave the manger up through the Epiphany. It's my Mom's manger and that's what she always did. I have a small tree that I bought when she was in hospice at home. Last year I didn't put up a tree, so this year I think I'll leave it up for a while. The door wreath she made stays up for a while too.

I'll take the window lights down tomorrow.

We usually take everything down on New Years Day. There's been a few years that we've left it up until the week-end following New Years Day if it happens to fall close to it.

We go all out with Christmas decorating and keep it up throughout the month of January, although sometimes things are put away mid-January.

When we were first married and when our girls were under 5, the tree and decorations went away on the 26th.

I was working once the girls were in school, so everything stayed up until their break was over after New Year's, altho we had live trees then, and sometimes for safety reasons the tree had to go out sooner.

The first year I retired, the tree stayed up all year, and I have repeated that two more times.

This year was another no tree year, and only very simple decor inside that isn't in my way, so it will stay until January 7th.

I don't put the tree up until the 2nd week of December, so I am in no rush to take it down after the 25th. Usually sometime after the January 6th.

This year since it is decorated all in silver I have thought about adding a bunch of red bulbs and keeping it up until Valentine's Day.

DH enjoys the tree, don't know how many years we have remaining so why not let him enjoy it a little longer.

I was raised that it was bad luck to have your tree up past New Years Eve.

When I decorate, it all comes down on the 26th. And I don't decorate until 2 weeks before Chrostmas. Two weeks is more than enough for me.

I took ours down Sunday.

We are having new carpeting installed in our bedroom Thursday and I didn't need all that out along with the bedroom throwing up all over the rest of the house trying to move furniture in and out.

Depending on the day of the week it falls on, either the weekend of or after the Epiphany.

Day after New Years Day. That's how my parents did it, that's how we do it! Tradition!

We wait until after the new year. Because of blowing snow being predicted, we took down the outside decorations. However, the tree, and the presents under it, will stay.
