fingerlakesmom Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 One year tress camedown January 31st How ever we decorate with snowmen and those stay up all winter
hockeyfanamo Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 My DH's first deployment I kept the tree up until he came home on R&R. That was in March.
racerfan Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 One year we took in our outdoor decorations in May. We had a bad winter and the wires were frozen in 3 feet of snow, had to wait for everything to melt.
Melissa Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 January 1st is the absolute latest, but I like to have everything packed away a.s.a.p. after Christmas. I've been known to take the decorations down on Dec. 26th. Since we put the tree up the day after Thanksgiving, we get a full month's enjoyment out of it, but when it's over, it's over.
Princess7915 Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 My stuff gets taken down pretty quick. It really doesn't mean anything to me after Christmas - I just want all the mess clean up and my house back to normal. It's all usually well been gone by New Year's Eve. I do also decorate with snowmen along with Christmas and the snowmen stay until sometime mid to late February.
lot-narth Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 12th night(January 6th):holiday03 My family is Catholic so the four weeks before Christmas Midnight is Advent though we do decorate during that time. However Christmas is 12 days hence the twelve days of Christmas. So Christmas doesn't end until Twelfth Night (Jan. 6) and only then can decoration be taken down.
speeddiva Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 One year I still had outdoor stuff up in April but usually it's after Twelfth night.
mgmckny Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 Um, I took my Wall Christmas tree down around June I think... Considering leaving it up year round and just changing the decor....
leefamily23 Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 Our indoor decorations have stayed up as long as only January 10th-12th. That was long for us because they usually come down on the 1st, but we were running really short on time that year. As for outdoor decorations. The lawn stuff comes down in early January but the lights don't usually come down until we thaw out, so it could be as late as mid-April. We don't turn them on anymore after the first week of January though.
bellastarr Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 We used to leave them up until New Years day, but now that we live in a tiny apartment we take them down Christmas night.
