    I took mine down on Sunday, which was the 2nd. It is always so bare when the tree comes down, but it has to come down, so it is usually around that time that I take it down.

    Mine is still up. Lights are on a timer. They are on when I walk in in the morning and stay on until about eleven at night. I just like looking at it. Makes me happy. I am getting ready to start taking the decorations off. Probably do that tonight. :lol:

    We generally take the tree down either on New Year's Day or the day after, whichever works best in our plans. My snowman-type things I leave out till the beginning of March.

    Either the 26, 27 or 28 of Dec. When Christmas is over, it's over (for me). I want it down and my house back to normal. I did less decorating this year so I would not have much to take down! Next year we will have a little one around so I may decorate more for her.

    It was always 12th night in my house, i.e. 6th Jan. My father was very supersticious and wouldn't contemplate it coming down on any other day, because of the bad luck.

    I didn't have a tree up this year, but I will take down my cards etc. on Thursday.
