amberleigh2 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 This is my first year that I have'nt worked after christmas & I"m pondering on the thought of taking all the trees & decorations down, I usually wait til New years day but I'm so bored I'm thinkin I could get it all down & clean the house real good!! I hate to see it go:( , it's kinda depressing taking it all down coz this is my favorite time of year but then again the house sure could use a good deep cleaning after all the holiday guests!! So when do you all plan on doing it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayhaysay Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I PLAN on doing it in the next couple of days. I just hope it gets done before school starts back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampbaby Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Usually ours stays up until at least the new year, however this year it's coming down Friday night or Saturday. Our DS and myself will be gone all the next week and simply don't wish to face taking everything down on the 8th when DS goes back to school. Plus, I'm sure DH would appreciate things back to normal. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlesbytammy1 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I would personally that mine down around new years, however my hubby's family always took it down the day after Christmas. So, I am in the middle of taking decorations, etc.. down now. Just felt like taking a break and now I am here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

decafmom Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Today! It's all down and put away. Whew!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Lady Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Not sure this year. Usually we take it down the first weekend in January, but we are leaving that weekend and won't be home for a week. So if we don't take it down before then it won't be until the 15th or so. I do kinda want it down, because my son's b-day is the 31st, but yet every year we've had it still up. Maybe I'll ask him if he wants the Chrstmas stuff still up for his b-day or not.

tokanm Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Done...all put away until next year. The living room is back to normal and I could vacuum the whole area. However the bedrooms and the kitchen could really use work:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshyne Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Usually, I wait until January 6th. But, the kids are going to my mom's on Thursday until Monday, so I think I will just do it then so I can pack everything carefully and not have to listen to my oldest ds be sad about the tree going away. Too bad the township won't start picking the trees up until the 8th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace25baker Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 We usually take ours down on New years day but, our needles are starting to fall off the tree early this year. so it may come down earlier than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortness Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Usually after the New Year, but last year it went down earlier. We're heading home today, so we'll see... Lots of unloading, laundry, and organizing the house first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Pam Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 We wait until after the 1st week in Jan. due to 3 Kings Day. If I decorated at home instead of at FIL's, that's what I would do as well. Growing up, we had Roman Catholic neighbors who always invited my sister and me to their house to celebrate 'Little Chr-stmas' with them on Epiphany. They redid he holiday completely, from stockings to smaller wrpped gifts, to a festive meal. Then they would drive us to Little Havana to see the Three Kings Day Parade. They also celebrated the Advent season, so they would set up their tree a week before Chr-stmas to give it time to open, but wouldn't decorate it until the 24th. And the lights were never turned on until after they returned from Midnight Mass. I guess since they didn't set it up until so late, they never had the chance to get tired of the decorations before Epiphany... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
