Still have Christmas Decorations Up?, or am I the only one. :oops: The main tree is down, but I still have 2 small ones to do. Oh, and put the linen away. Oh, heck, there's one more tree in the bathroom...

We leave our big tree up until mid-March or so. Cheers us up during the cold weather.

I actually just changed my avatar from a Christmas picture today. That was the last "undecoarating" I had to do.

The tree is undecorated but still up. I undecorated it last weekend, was hoping someone else (husband or son) would take it down cellar, I wasnt home for 3 days because of work & weather, but alas no, it still sits in the corner...

Nope, if I left it up too late the kids and DH would toss it all out in the trash!!! Drove one of my DD's friends home last night and their tree was still up!!

That goodness it's not just me :) I just rounded everything up and put in it's storage place, now if I can just get my husband to put the tree in the storage building. The sad thing is the tree is only 4 foot and I only had a handful of other decorations.

I have some colored lights hanging in the window that have been there going on 2 years. I just LOVE the lights. At first I just wanted to see how long they would last. The ones I had on the tree outside were the regular lights...they lasted until July of last summer...the ones in the window are those LCD lights...2 years ~ 24 hours 7 days a week and still going strong. It pays to invest in some of those. Now its just a test to see how long they will stay on. and I love them..

I still have lighted decorations up outside, but it's been so cold, they are frozen in the ground. They are staked. I did take the photo cell switch inside so they don't go on any more. Our neighbors already think we're nuts.
