I believe that is how it used to be done by most. So, my question is when do you take it down?  I mean, how long do you get to enjoy it?

 

Honestly, I love the tradition, but as soon as Christmas is over, I'm ready for the tree to be gone (but maybe I wouldn't be if it hadn't been in my living room for a month already).

We take down our tree around the first weekend in January.  I get a real tree, so it also depends on how it is holding up! I keep all of my outside decorations until January 6th.

I love my tree but like you, once it’s over I’m ready for it and all the other decorations to be gone. A lot depends on my work schedule and travel but I almost always have mine put away by New Years Eve.

We hold out as long as possible. Honestly we would probably have it all up all year if people wouldn’t look at us weird.

In all honesty it's always down before New Years. It depends on the animals and if it's a battle with them destroying it.
There are years it's done by 12/26 lol.
