Ahhhh, Christmas Decorations
Posted by terrepruitt on December 28, 2023
I do love all the decorations. When do you take yours down? Do you take stuff down after the Twelve Days of Christmas? Do you embrace the Epiphany and take the Christmas decorations after? Do you take stuff down the day after Christmas? Do you take decorations down on New Year’s Day? I like to wait as long as possible, but usually our tree dictates when we take it down. Sometimes it lasts longer than others. Last year I was sad because it was a great tree and would have lasted until February but we had to rush to take it down because we had workers coming in. So sad. I am not sure this one will last until the 12th day of Christmas, but we will see.
Putting decorations up and taking them down has been a bit of a challenge these past years because I use our living room as my yoga/Nia/stretch Zoom studio so I have to keep the area clean and open . . . when in the past I could have boxes and ornaments all over. We will see how it goes this year.
So . . . when do you “undecorate”?

We often take our tree down in mid to late January, since we ourselves are doing the rounds at Christmas, visiting friends and family so we want time to enjoy the tree ourselves.

Oh, nice! I wish we could wait until mid or late January. But our trees don’t last that long. I think 30 days is good. This year our tree was amazing. It looked ok, aside from the droop, but it wasn’t brown and scary LOOKING. But its needles were very dry and at the point of being very pokey!
Best wishes back at you (and yours)
