I started yesterday. I usually wait until New Years day but this year well....our tree actually fell over about 30 minutes after we got it all up - I seriously think it traumatized the tree (live tree). It's lost almost all of its needles. I sit here at night and just hear the needles fall off without the tree even being touched. I'm just so ready to get it out of here. I can't do it all in one day anymore either. I need almost a week to put it all up and a week to take it down :lol:

Im hiring help to take down and pack up..( the babysitter!!!!) It was a HUGE project putting all the decorations up so I decided to go the easy route taking them down.. Dont get me wrong I love to decorate and put everything out- something in every room practically! But Life is short too many quilts to sew not enough time.. so Im hoping to pack it all up in no time with the help..

my tree was out the door monday...it was dropping needles everywhere!!!! sad to see it go out so quick but we were supposed to go to the fields and cut our own but my hubbie got chicken of the snow and went to lowes. so it was half dead before we started....needless to say it didnt last and rather than worry about fire...out it went....sad to say goodbye to the holidays.

I had to take the tree down because it was so dry. Very annoying because I paid a lot of $$ and I usually save it for New Year's Day. Oh well, now I get to really clean the living room.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Our almost 14 foot tree decided to fall over last night at 11:45 pm while we were waiting for the ball to fall. Broken ornaments all over so we had no choice but to clean it up!!
