Does anyone else still have Christmas decorations up?

Mine will come down after the 6th. We're still enjoying our two trees (real) and the warm look of our home. The snowmen will come out after that. I'm glad DS will still be on college break to help tote the boxes back and forth! Smile

My decorations are coming down today. Can't stand going back to work with a house not back in order or having to do it after a long day at work.

Enjoy your decorations!!

Half of mine are still up. I took one tree down that was in my family room, but my living room tree is still up and all my greenery is still draped on my sconces. I'm just still loving my flocked tree in the living room I may never take it down! It's decorated in all red ornaments, so I could keep it up till Valentines Day right?

Mine are still up!

As much as I would love to take everything down, I am leaving them up until my niece and her husband and new baby come to visit on Monday. They will return home to Morocco on January 13, so it will be a while before I can get everything packed away again.

I normally get everything cleaned up right away, but decided I wanted the house to be festive for their arrival and visit. It still all looks beautiful (artificial tree).

It snowed Thursday night and now my outside decorations are covered with snow. Also, it is bitter cold and I'm not sure when I will get the outside stuff put away. Might be spring!

Ours will come down on the 6th also. Then we will convert the Christmas tree to a Mardi Gras tree, by taking down the burgundy ornaments and replacing them with green and purple. The gold ones stay up. Replacing the wreath on the front door with one designed around the tragedy/comedy masks. They come down before midnight on Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, which I think is March 5th. Have to check the calendar. (And yes, we have an artificial tree!)

A few still have their lights on in my neighborhood. My inside decorations were down the 26th.

Re: Does anyone else still have Christmas decorations up?

Mine are still up and I'm not motivated to take them down. It's such a job for me as I decorate the whole house - 3 full size trees - pictures and nic-nacs all replaced with Christmas décor - and I do it all myself.

I just keep looking around and wishing for it to all be gone and back to normal. LOL
