I'm leaving mine up all year!! I have a pencil style fake tree with lights in a pot with some beautiful Angel Ornaments from Hallmark that I strung crystals on that are used in chandeliers as garland. Right now I have jeweled snowflakes that I made on the tree with the Angels. I like the idea of hearts for Valentines and may decorate with each Holiday. Some people have Fake Fica Trees in their house, I'm going to have an Evergreen tree in my living room from now on. I like the lights, as it gives the room ambiance and I don't have to have any other light on when watching TV. So, that's what I'm doing with my tree. As to the other Christmas decos, they have been put away except for the Snowmen!!
