How long do you leave up your live Christmas tree?

I put mine up Dec 8 and will be taking decorations off this weekend. Since I live alone my nephews will come over to help me drag it out. I am hoping they can come the beginning of next week - around Jan 3rd or so. It starts making me nervous after that!😜

Although this year we have an artificial tree, we always leave our tree and other Christmas decorations up until the 12th day of Christmas.....January 6th, Little Christmas, Epiphany.  But then again, we don't start decorating till about the first week of December.  Not as early as some do.  šŸŽ„

When we put up a tree, we did it on Thanksgiving weekend and kept it up until after Little Christmas, January 6th.  I will leave my nativity set out until then.  I don't miss the tree!

They just showed the episode on GMA regarding fire hazard of live trees that are left up too long and using the lights.

I didn't put up a tree this year, but live or artificial, I always took it down on the 26th. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

I bought a live one in a pot at Walmart in 1999 (to celebrate the coming "century")....and it is now about 3 stories tall in the yard.
