Of course aren't we supposed to be getting ready for Valentine's Day now?
Every holiday seems rushed, oh yeah there's New Years coming. No
decorating for that holiday anyway.

I never put it up this year so there is nothing to take down next week.

I don't understand taking the tree down the day after Christmas. Mine will stay up a while longer. But to each their own...

I did take mine down today.
The decision was made after the cat Grace knocked it over multiple times,the last Christmas Eve. Came home and ornaments were scattered and tree was laying smack on the living room floor.
I agree that there should be home decor for the winter so a home should never be bare.
I also made a nice front door basket decor for my front door and I personally enjoy the transition.
Christmas decorations were up on Black Friday and CATNESS has a month to climb the tree.
Hello New Year.

I always follow the same routine that my parents did and that is to take the tree down on New Years Day.
We always have a live tree, so by that time, it's usually starting to get somewhat dry. Although this year we found what is perhaps the freshest tree we've ever had. By now we usually have a few needles on the floor, but this year there's not a one.

Yes, to each his or her own. Not only did we take all the Christmas down today including the outside lights, but I decorated for Valentine's Day. I have a lot of cute VDay things, and I want time to enjoy them. My husband has an odd work schedule, and I need his help to put things back up into the attic, so it was do it today or wait until next week, which is supposed to be very cold and nasty.

@faeriemoon I regularly told myself to take mine down until the end of October, at which time I told myself to leave it up.
My tree is a small cream and gold ceramic one that gives off such a beautiful glow that it is hard to put it away. I enjoy it every day. I might put it away in January and put a Himalayan salt lamp where the tree is. Maybe.

Oh for the love of pete! How can there possibly be a debate, much less a heated one, on when is the correct time to take down a Christmas tree?

Take it down whenever you feel ready, no need to make an announcement. When someone else takes down their tree does not affect me in any way.

Well then again it is a topic that will come up, LOL!
In my case we take it down during the first couple weeks of January, kind of when the mood strikes. It's so much work for us that we like to enjoy it for awhile, always did. It took a few days to get it all set up so it will take a few to pack it all away. I think what people mean by it looking "bare" when the decorations are all down is just because you get accustomed to all the extra stuff in the house and then, it's gone. We adjust to it.
