So we put up the Christmas tree in the run-up to Christmas. The story of how we shopped for the tree and the ornaments will fill this blog post so I'll leave that for now. The question is when to take it down. After all the stress of buying it and then putting it up with the plenty decorations, we should leave it up till next Christmas. OK I kid, I kid...maybe till the end of January. And it's so beautiful when lighted up, what do you think?
Wow it looks so beautiful.I'm with you on not taking it down until ending january.
ReplyDeleteI love!

We're also having a hard time deciding when to take down our Christmas tree I'm thinking after the first week of January Christmas is no longer en vogue.
ReplyDeleteooh its beautiful,transfer it to me ,lol
ReplyDeletei like your christmas tree :). i think take it down on the 2nd or the weekend of the year..
ReplyDeleteOurs is already halfway down.
ReplyDeleteYou should take yours down by New Years Day.
Sorry, I don't make the rules.
Not that there are any.
Yeah I agree with fierce the 6th sounds about right. It is a pretty tree. My Dad once kept a tree of his up till Easter! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a nice holiday!
After January 15th lol
ReplyDeleteBlessings and all things positive and properous your way for the New Year.
ReplyDeleteThere is no said time to take down or put up your christmas tree, at least there isn't for me, i put it up when i want and take it down when I feel like it. You just go with what you feel.
stay blessed...
thanks for your visits, your handprints is always wonderful to see/read.
I'm not sure there are any hard and fast rules but here in my corner of Canada, if you have a real tree, the garbage service only collects it for the first two or three weeks of January so if you don't toss it by then then you have to keep it in your backyard and chop it up or something.
ReplyDeleteI inherited an artificial tree from my friend this year and I had a lot of fun decorating it and setting up. It's pretty simple but you can see a pic here. I should take a pic with the lights on.
My goal from now on will be to put the tree up by December 1 and take it down before January 1. I may see if I can put up some other decorations to symbolize the new year. Given my laziness though, I'm sure my tree will stay up until at least the first week of January is over.
I love the smell of a real Christmas tree!
I will leave it for Santa Clause to come and take it down himself
ReplyDeletehe is a dodo
oh its so beauriful...
ReplyDeletein my house in naija we dont take it down until early feb...and its even my grandmom that takes it down in annoyance lol
I did not put up an xmas tree this year cos Tom-tom would just flaten it in 2 seconds.
ReplyDeleteYour tree is lovely and if it helps brighten up winter a little bit, I'd keep it up for a while.
Very Pretty! Your tree is colorful just how I like my tree. I say keep it to mid January. I usually like to light mine at night after the children have gone to bed, turn off all of the other lights and look at my tree and dream...
ReplyDeletecute tree,im jealous so ill say you take it down immediately you see my comment lol
ReplyDeletelol @ dufa
I've heard all, thanks for your compliments. This was my biggest tree yet and I was proud of it.
ReplyDelete@Shorty, Myworld, Rene, Nigerian Queen, thanks, I'm beginning to think that might be too far.

@Christiejolu, Dith and Rhapsody, you're right, thanks again. That sure makes sense.
ReplyDelete@GNG, I'm yet to use a real Christmas tree. I've gone to areas filled with pine and I get you on the smell. It's even better when it's burnt in the fireplace.
@Bubbles, LOL, you're the dodo. How are you girl?
@Naijalines, Cerebrally, that's so funny.
@Vivianne, It's just so sweet when you turn off all the lights and light up the tree. We've had some good times with that.
