Default Is your Christmas tree still up?

Being the curious soul that I am, I'm wondering if there are any others with their trees still up, lol ... if not, when did you take it down?

Nope, Christmas stuff always comes down on New Years Day. I know some people are waiting until the 6th to take theirs down for the 12th day of Christmas or something like that.

Ours stays up through 1/6. We'll put it all away after the boys go to bed that night or the next day after Andrew gets home from work.

Yes, but only because we left for a week the day after Christmas. I'm going to take it down tomorrow.

Here in this house we take it down on Epiphany 1/6...BUT we took it down on 1/1 because David was going back to MO and we needed the help getting it into the attic.

"this house" is Tabatha's house.

In my house...well I have been known to take it down the evening of the 25th. Usually the 26th though!

Our tree was starting to lean on Christmas Day, so I told DH when the stores opened on the 26th, I wanted to go get some ornament storage boxes (all ours are Hallmark) and take down the tree.
When we got home from Walmart that morning, we couldn't get the front door open because THE TREE HAD FALLEN OVER IN FRONT OF THE DOOR!
We had to force the door open, and some of my ornaments were broken

So basically, our tree took itself down.

Yep, still up. Really like this one. Wanna keep it.

I usually take ours down the Sunday after New Year's during/while yelling at a football playoff game or two. Helps combat the packing away the holidays feelings for a while.

HA! you guys are killing me! I'm one that when Christmas is over, it's over. I refuse to listen to Christmas music past the 25th or anything like that. LOL! So, it should come as no surprise that my tree came down and all signs of christmas were gone on christmas night. Seriously. LOL!

Mine's still up. I think we're planning to take it down tomorrow though. Even my DH said he was sad that Christmas was going to be over.

We took ours down earlier this week, before New Year's I *think* but I'm not sure. Since DH & the girls have been home on break from school I easily loose track of the days LOL!!

Mine is still up, mainly for 2 reasons. First, I'm just too lazy to take it down. And second, it's still fun to see the baby's eyes light up when we come out in the morning and turn it on in the dark. She just oohs and aahs and points to it. It's the cutest thing ever, and I'm not ready to give that up. I'm a sap.

Mine usually comes down on the 6th of January. I do have to work on Monday and Tuesday, so if I don't pull it down tomorrow, it will have to be Wednesday. I am never in a hurry to take the tree down, I just love it being up, and I love this time of year.

Ummm, sort of... We took it down on the 23rd since we left town for Christmas. DH stuck it in the snow in the backyard. So it looks like we have a pine tree right off our patio. So I guess technically it's still 'up'...

We just took our tree down today. I probably would have done it sooner, but we had company at our house.

Ours came down today. This is the first time it has been up into the new year. I usually take it down the day after Christmas. The kids just won't leave it alone. BUt they are getting older and it looks nicer longer. So tradition might change!!!!

Mine comes down today. We leave ours up because we have a NYE party every year & it's nice decor. Then we take it down that weekend. I meant to do it yesterday but got sidetracked by other things.

No, we took ours down last Sunday. Normally, I leave it up until after New Year's but I wanted it out of here so I could focus on other things like getting the baby's room ready.

No way! I had a hard enough time keeping it up until the 1st (our company was here through the 31st!!). Next year, it'll be going down the 26th or 27th!

We took ours down on the 27th because Buttmunch wanted to rearrange the living room and put his speakers back in there.

And the bottom half of the tree was pretty bare since my lil fart took off all of the ornaments that he could reach and broke most of them. Just the other day I found 3 in the bottom of the laundry hamper. Boys are so ornery!

We usually take ours down New Year's day but we just had our Christmas "re-do" for our family who couldn't make it on Christmas day because of the snow. We'll probably take it down today or tomorrow.

Ours is still up. In the past 2 weeks we've been home for like 2 days. All the traveling to see family and such. So it'll come down when I get the energy to put away all the ornaments, sometime this week.

i took mine down yesterday and it feels great to have that one...i love when its up, but after x-mas the thought of it needing to come down looms over me...I kept it up longer than usual. Of course, we've still got lighted trees and a wreath outside
