Ummmm....... We don't do a lot of decorating, but we do leave the decorated tree up through March most years. We like the colorful lights and cheerfulness of it during the long winter months.

Not yet. I wait until after the 12 days of Christmas.

I put Christmas away on January 6th - Old Christmas Day, as it is known around here. The tree went up on Dec. 24th and comes down on Jan. 6th.

When we were kids, schools didn't re-open until January 7th - we got the full 12 days.

I usually wait until New Years Day, but will be waiting longer this year since I have to work that day.

I will wait until after Jan. 7th. My Mom always called it "old Christmas" and never took down decorations until it had passed.

We usually do the 12 days of Christmas, but this year we are going away, beginning of January so they will be coming down early. Probably after our grand kids have been at the weekend!!

Usually we leave them up until January 6, but this year our tree is starting to look sad - branches are drooping. So Monday when hubby goes back to work, I'll start to take the ornaments off. Then he can haul it out of here when he gets home.

Took everything down the 26th. Had a great Christmas, but am looking forward to tulips and daffodils.
