I put up a real tree, this year... It's coming down today.. I loved having a real tree again, but the mess  :brickwall:

When do you guys take yours down?

We normally have two Christmas celebrations, so after the 2nd one, of course. ;)  This year it will be after the 2nd of Jan but before the following Tuesday (trash and recycling pick-up). Oh, the pace of modern living.... ;D

Life isn't Father Knows Best anymore, it's a kick in the face on a saturday night with a steel toed grip kodiak work boot and a trip to the hospital all bloodied and bashed.....for reconstructive surgery. But, what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger, right?

I usually take ours down on New Years day, by then I get sick of looking at the damn thing. It is a pain in the ass to take it apart and sort the decorations and lights. :brickwall:

when i lived in philadelphia and we had real trees it would be the night before the tree pick up (after jan 1) we would take off the decorations and the next morning (the day of pick up) after sun rise (so no one would set it on fire) we would drag it out for pick up. here we have a fake 3 foot tree and its when ever someone here takes it up to the closet I think last year that was in feburary

took ours down today only cause the needles started to finally fall off.  I also took down all of the outside decorations since the ground was fairly soft and I could get all of the stakes out.  No snow on the roof so I took down all of those lights also.  I guess its good that I did it today since they say a storm is coming for Wed or Thurs which would pretty much made the stuff freeze into the ground again till Feb.

We boxed ours up Tuesday, the 29th. We don't have a normal time to take it down. We just take it down when our schedule's permit, but it does come down some time between Christmas and New Years every year.

Took it apart this afternoon and put it back in it's box for next year.    Pre-lit artificial isn't as bad a PTA as others but it's more than I want to deal with anymore.

Cleared ours out last night, to make room for the Poker game!  It could have gone a few more days though.  Hadn't dropped hardly any needles!  I was shocked

X-Mas lights on the house came down today.

Holidays are officially back in the rafters till November.
