So how many here have taken down the holiday decorations, not including the tree.

[texanwitch]

I am not home at the moment but if I was they would still be up.

I will take them down next weekend.

It always takes me a long time to get into the holiday feeling.

I like to burn the indoor lights into January.

1. My decorations stay up and lit through Epiphany

They'll get put away next weekend. I need to reclaim my house and focus on tax season and clients.

:hi:

2. Tree actually comes down before the other decorations in my house

I am really bad about keeping the tree watered once gifts are around it, so by now it's all droopy and the ornaments are starting to fall off. I'll take it down before trash day (Thursday), but I'll leave the lights and greenery up (on the mantel and around the banister etc.) for another week or two. I like the indoor lights during the darkness of January too.

3. Tomorrow the decorations are being put away.

[femmocrat]

4. We took the tree down first.

I still have some wreaths and nutcrackers around. I'll finish packing everything away next weekend.

[REP]

5. Everything came down yesterday

New year; clean start.

[caitxrawks]

6. all but the tree.

I'm just too damn lazy.

[azmouse]

7. I'll start tomorrow putting away decorations.

Always a sad day for me. I love the holidays.

[Brother Buzz]

8. Junkmen keep offering to haul away my nativity scene for free

[crispini]

9. Mine's all down.

I was feeling ambitious today, plus I wanted to clean.

[quakerboy]

10. Down and done

Granted, the only decoration was one little snowman ornament that was sent to us and had a little light inside. My wife hung it from a cord pull at just the right hight to bap me in the head every time I got up from my desk. Its gone. It will never come back.

11. We never put them up this year, so taking them down is not a problem!

:)

[seabeyond]

12. i brought the boxes in this weekend. didnt get to the stuff. we put up thanksgiving

weekend. so i am ready for them to get out. just too lazy. and i do still turn on the lights and enjoy them. but tomorrow, all is out of here.

i finally got two weeks of people out of house today

[AwakeAtLast]

13. Took it down today

Won't find the time after this weekend, so I did it today.

[Kali]

14. didn't really put any up this year

one string of white lights on a juniper branch, dozen new sparkly blue ornaments I got for my birthday, and some blue tinsel string (I think its supposed to be for packages, not trees but what the hell) is all we put up. On Christmas eve, around dark. It will probably sit there until February.:rofl:

[Blue_In_AK]

15. We didn't put any up,

not even a tree. Easiest Christmas break-down EVER.

[madamesilverspurs]

16. Nope, still enjoying them.

I'll get them put away by the end of the month. Maybe. Or not.

[MiddleFingerMom]

17. Take it down?

.
I'm much happier now that, instead of taking it down, I just decorate it
differently for ALL the holidays.
.
My New Year's tree. My Presidents' Day tree. My April Fools Day tree. My
Thanksgiving Day tree, etc. etc. etc.
.
My Easter tree:
.

.
My Independence Day tree:

Etc. etc. etc
.
Of course, I DO take it down for Arbor Day. It wouldn't be fair to make
it work on its own holiday. I am not without compassion.

18. I wish my neighbors would take the Christmas lights ...

off their house.

They put them up in 2006 and haven't taken them down since.

[Callalily]

19. I haven't put up a tree in years,

but I did put out a few decorations because of friend peer pressure. ;) But they came down a few days ago.

[Blue Diadem]

20. We finished the indoor decorations yesterday. Still have outdoor decorations

to take down, that will take a while since it's so cold.

The rooms always look so bare when the decorations are gone.

[TommyO]

21. Everything will be coming down next weekend

We'll keep the lights on through Wednesday.

[dugaresa]

22. i wait til the end of January, winter is pretty long and bland and after spending

so much time decorating I can't bear to take it down.

I like the lights and the warm fuzzy feeling it evokes.

[darkstar3]

23. I'm leaving the tree up this year.

It took me long enough to get into the Christmas spirit, and now that it's over I have 3.5 months of cold with no festive, lighted holidays to look forward to.

If my tree is down before February, I'll be surprised.

[woo me with science]

27. We're leaving ours up, too, as long as it's frigid outside.

We like the pretty lights.

[bigwillq]

24. Tree and all have been taken down (nt)

[KG]

25. i don't even own any holiday decorations.

[distantearlywarning]

26. We will be taking everything down tonight.

Christmas is over. I am sad. :-(

[Common Sense Party]

28. They've been down for over a week.

My wife yanked 'em down the day after Christmas.

I dodn't care one way or the other. I didn't put them up, and I didn't take them down.

[surrealAmerican]

29. Those little colored lights are staying up until groundhog's day.

That's about when the sunlight gets back in our apartment.

[tigereye]

30. nah, we always put em up late, a few days before Christmas, so we leave em

up a bit longer.

The tree will probably start getting pretty dry soon, though, so that might have to go this weekend.

[ashling]

31. I'm way ahead of ya'

I never put any up.
:rofl:
