When is your tree coming down?

[ Edited ]

When are you taking your Christmas tree down?  And decorations?

 

Some around here have taken them down the day after Christmas.

 

I like waiting at least until after the New Year  Smiley Happy

 

Sorry, I didnt see the posts in HOME about the subject of taking down Christmas decor etc.

We only decorate the den so I’m in no big hurry to get them down. 

 

This year we added a 3-ft Santa, snowman nutcracker,  elf nutcracker. After Christmas, we found large snowman and woodland Santa by Jim Shore.  They were 1/2 price at Dillard’s.

 

Usually wait until mid-January or later.

I put away the Nativity. The bells rhat were on door knobs are down. All of the elves have gone back to the North Pole.

 

I have 3 big trees still up. I love the lights. I don't know when they will come down yet. We are planning to keep up the sparkle tree in the dining room. We'll see.

Not in any rush. I'll put away holiday decorations around January 10th but keep the snowmen out longer.

It's down & gone.

 

I keep a few of  my nutcrackers out year round.

As soon as i figure out how to store my new Santa on my door, it will come down too.

It's a dimensional felt Santa face, his beard is long, it's almost like tinsel.   He has a big hat too.

After the Feast of Three Kings.  If it's too cold outside by then, the outdoor lights will wait until better weather.

There are many elements: wind, fire, water
But none quite like the element of surprise

Took everything down yesterday. I seem to get earlier and earlier every year. We don’t put up that much stuff so it only takes a little amount of time to take stuff down.
