I wanted to do it yesterday, but I had too many errands to run. I remember leaving it up until 3 Kings, but I want to take it down now. I feel like if I don't do it now, we'll have it up until Feb, lol!

we're taking ours down tomorrow. i like the idea of keeping it up for the 12 days, but a month is just too long for me. plus DH is going OOT and he needs to carry the tree out!

We normally leave ours up until Kings Day, but we took them down Monday. We did a huge house cleaning all day Monday and thought it would be the perfect time to do it.
I took almost everything down yesterday while my mom was here to help with the boys. Still need DH to take the tree down to the basement, but I like to ring in the New Year fresh and clean!
I would take it down this weekend. The last thing you are going to want to do once you go back to work is have to deal with taking down the decorations. Ours is down, not that we had much up since we were out of town.
I almost always take it down by the 27th. The tree is nearly dead at that point. Anytime someone walks by it needles fall everywhere! Before kids I left it up till the Epiphany (Jan 6th). I hope you have a great new year!
Geneva will be out of the house shortly, so I'll take the tree down this afternoon. I didn't want a little helper with the ornaments. Our city picks up the trees for you, so DH will just haul it to the curb.

Mine went up Dec 23 and down Dec 28. THis year was a wash for Christmas spirit bc I was really sick right before Christmas and DH was OOT. I still got the tree up and it was gorgeous, and I wanted it down before we got busy with New Year. I found some great storage stuff at Walmart after Christmas so it was fun to organize, too. I also already made 2 loads for the Goodwill and cleaned out 2 closets. We're getting ready to make some more major renovations in our home.
