When are you taking down your christmas crap.

Im starting to get sick of it and want to take everything down. That being said I feel like i will be sad once its all packed away again. Tomorrow is my birthday and my mom always made sure the tree was still up for my birthday growing up. Now a days (since she got a fake one) she will leave it up until freaking feb. lol 

I cant deside! And also its a lot of work to pack it all up again lol.

When will you take it all down and put it all away? Or when did you?

  • We did it on Monday.  We got our tree a couple days after Thanksgiving so I was sick of it and wanted to de-clutter a bit.

  • Oh my gosh, not for awhile!  My tree will prob come down mid-January and I leave all of the snowman/snowflake things up into the winter.  I LOVE Christmas.  Love it!
  • Most of it came down the day after Christmas.  The rest the following day. I got tired of the all the clutter and DH was home to help.

  • I always take it down after New Years Day.
  • I don't consider it crap, and I leave it up until after Epiphany
  • I really want to take it down, but at the same time I don't know where I'm going to put the new toys, and H wants to leave it up until after New Years.  So, I decided this week I'm going to organize DD's room, build shelves in her closet, etc. for the toys and next week I'll take the stuff down!

    We do the same.  I love having the Christmas decorations all throughout the house and the season feels short to me if I take it down any earlier.

  • traditionally in both my family, and DH's, its a day after new years. Unfortunatly, I am due Jan 6th. I m kind of anxious to get the decor down now rather than later. DH doesnt see the urgency...

    "If you have the baby before we get the decor down, I can do it when you come home from the hospital."

    Ug... no. I am nesting NOW I want the decor gone NOW so its one less thing to deal with AFTER.

  • Probably next week some time. I love Christmas.  We travel to see family so we were gone for 10 days. I want to enjoy my Christmas decor a little while longer.

  • I was planning on taking it down this weekend but my son has knocked the tree over a few times this week already so it may be coming down sooner than this weekend.

  • We usually don't take it down until after New Year's.  DH has been off for a week and doesn't go back to work until Wed. 1/4, so I'm thinking we'll wait until that Monday or Tuesday to take everything down.  I want to enjoy it for as long as possible before everything goes back to normal....but when we get back to normal on the 4th, I want it DONE.  Does that make sense?  Not in a rush to get to that point of taking down Christmas b/c it's depressing, but once we're at that point, I want it just to all be back to normal again :)
