Usually put it up Thanksgiving evening and take it down December 26th.

Growing up, it was always Little Christmas.   

 

As an adult, January 1st.

We leave it up until the 1st or a few days after.  It will come down this weekend.  Smiley Sad

Please be careful with a live tree. A very wealthy family in our town living in a beautiful mansion left their tree up and it caught fire. The entire family perished, the Grandparents to whom the home belonged and 3  precious Grands. The next day they were going to Disney. Please be careful!🙏

Normally by New Year's day...sometimes earlier, just depends on weather and social events. My plan this year is to put all inside decorations away on Saturday.

 

I think outside decorations will come down Sunday if the weather is dry. The boys will be over to watch game that day, so will likely pull down before game.
