Re: Anyone else have a tree up for St. Valentine's Day?

I love your post! I have a few tall, slim trees in my wish list on Amazon! My young son and I love Christmas and hate to see the real tree go. I had first seen the idea for a year round monthly themed tree from Jeanne Bice of Quacker Factory. My former MIL even had a Christmas room in her house! Ordering my tree this weekend and can't wait to make some new memories for my son. I love the ideas from the other posters! I love holidays and decorating for all of them!

Re: Anyone else have a tree up for St. Valentine's Day?

I could not wait to take the tree down but after reading this , seems so much fun to have a small corner to put a little tree in it and have fun with holidays just something different & if you have kids to redo some decorations what ever the holiday & make memories is fun. I say go for it.

My Christmas tree is trimmed in Victorian style with lots of flowers and hearts so I always keep it up through Valentine's day.

image.jpegFor the last five years I have had a small 4.5 ft tree up year round! It is in a corner with clear lights. Right now it's decorated for Valentine's Day.  It's a happy tree to look at!   Easter is next.

No, we took our tree down after Christmas and couldn't see putting it back up for Valentine's Day.

I have a white ceramic tree I have decorated with red bulbs. I trimmed it especially for Valentine's Day. Just a fun decoration in middle of winter.

We have a live tree on our deck with white lights. It stays up in the winter to give us something cheerful to look at out the patio door.

I bought a very tall, but thin Christmas tree from a local boutique that I love so much I couldn't take it down after the holidays.

 

So I kept all the red glass ornaments on it and ordered a TON of heart shaped ones and some hot pink ones.

 

The tree is an off white and came pre-lit with white lights.  It's very unique to begin with.  (Your typical green trees just don't go with my decor.)

 

It's beautiful and I can't wait till all my grandchildren see it this weekend.  Two of my granddaughters have helped me decorate it. 

 

I have a *tarnished* silver tree (only about 2 feet high) in a bay window on my porch (where we eat) that is decorated with glass ornaments shaped in *desserts*.  Cupcakes, slices of cake, candy shapes, sugared fruit slivers---it makes you hungry looking at it!

 

Other than putting out red and pink fresh flowers and pink pillar candles, that's it for St. Valentine's decorations.

 

Anyone else keep a tree up?

 

 

@Lucky Charm  Your Valentine tree sounds wonderful.  My family room tree is red and white with white lights, and it will still be up, though I don't specifically decorate for Valentine's Day.

 

I have the wire tree that I bought here which can be lit with specific colors, so it will be red for February, a different color(s) for Easter, Spring, Summer, Fall, and in Winter, the real trees are up so this one gets a rest.
