When do you put all Christmas stuff away?
I know some neighbors have their live tree outside Christmas day afternoon. I like my festive things up through the holidays, so everything is still in place as of NewYear'sDay.
Anyone keep things up longer?
Re: When do you put all Christmas stuff away?
before kids - we kept it up until new years day.... now that xmas = tons of new toys- we need the space, and take it all down on the 26th when teh kids are napping.
I usually do it New Years day. Though I am sitting here right now with my tree still up and lite. I am off tomorrow so I plan on taking it down then.
We're going away for our anniversary this coming weekend, so I had it all down by noon this past Saturday.
It was a nice first married Christmas but there was enough family drama to make me no want to see another ornament for another 12 months.
I did leave some of the more generic "winter" decorations up though, and of course the season themed candles, can't go with out those.
I also can't bring myself to throw away a perfectly healthy poinsettia plant. I wonder if it would live if I planted it out side in the spring?
This is what we usually do, too, but the 15 month old got more and more daring about trying to touch the (glass) ornaments, so we decided to take it down early this year, Jan 2.
Our outside decorations were down December 26 (mostly because it was a 40 degree day in MI and we figured we may as well do it while it's nice out to ensure it's not up until Easter). I also un-decorated the inside that day, sans tree.
Un-decorated tree on NYD then took it to the basement on Jan. 2.
I took down our sideboard decorations after New Years. We take down our tree after the 6th.
Our sideboard is just a runner with a festive centrepiece and any cards we receive displayed. That and our Christmas tree is all we do.
Whew - I got the last packed up this morning. I saw one little thing that was left out, but that will be easy.
It is so nice to get everything back to place and christmas-decluttered.
