Is anyone else taking down their holiday decorations yet. I started today, I only have the tree in our family room left and I will wait until the weekend.
|
I plan to take mine down tomorrow. I like things when they get back to normal.
|
Mine are down and put away. I did that today.
|
Yup mine are down and put away.
|
I didn't put up much because I didn't want to think about putting it away. Have the tree and just a few Santas. I used to fill our family room with my Santa collection but somehow it doesn' do anything for me anymore. Leaving town for Texas day after tomorrow for 3 months. That probably had something to do with it:)
|
Nope, I never take them down before the New Year. Probably will do the week after New Years.
|
I am too dang tired. It will have to wait until we get back, day after New Year.
Last year I had everything packed up and in the garage by 12/27th |
all gone.
|
Not yet, usually around New Years
Day |
I like towait til New Yearsday too.
|
I still haven't seen my grandbabies. We were supposed to have them today, BUT we got snowed in and no one was going out in this weather...so, hopefully, we see them tomorrow. They then go to Maine to see their "Mimi in Maine" for school vacation. THEN I can take down the tree LOL
|
I generally wait til after the new year but the tree in the livingroom had to go. It was sitting where little man's toys go, right now they are in the hallway taking up space. The outside decorations will stay up for now.
|
Mine will be put away tonight. Tired of the "season". I live alone and my daughters/Grandkids are far away. It's hard to hear all the "Family Stuff and see all Happly Ever Holiday Movies" when your alone. I need it to be February. LOL
|
I've gathered things in to a " pile" to put into the boxes. Everything is off the tree and stored, but the tree is still up ( has fiberoptic lighting...) I think it is pretty on it's on. but everything will be packed and stored sometimes this week... I was too busy sewing to getanything else done! smile
|
I started today. I want my living room back. Next week we start getting things ready to move youngest out. Sigh.
|
New Year's weekend for me. I am tired of looking at it, but too lazy to do it this week.
|
I don't take ours down until New Years Day.
|
My tree and inside decorations are down, leaving up the outside lights for a while.
|
Did most of it today, just a few little things to do tomorrow, I love the holidays but after a month I am ready to get things back to normal.
|
I got mine all put away and am loving it! I am ready to get back to "normal" whatever that is!
|
The few things we have are out on the front lawn and covered in snow but will come down and be put away as soon as they thaw!
|
Mine will be up until at least January 5 or 6....or maybe longer. I love the way the tree looks and like to hold on to Christmas for as long as I can.... until everybody starts thinking I'm loony.
|
All packed up and back in the attic until next year. pab
|
Why go through the trouble of decorating everything so pretty to take it down so fast? I leave everything around until the 6th of January, the feat of the Magi or Epiphany day. When I was a kid that was the biggest day of the Christmas season and it was celebrated big. It sill is in Puerto Rico. My kids look forward to it. After that, everything can come down.
|
I love getting everything decorated early but as soon as Christmas is over I want it to disappear lol
Will get to it soon, not quite yet though :D |
Christmas tree is down off the ceiling (only place I had to put one since DS & DGS moved in) and all the decorations are in the boxes. The wreaths are in their storage bags. Everything is ready to go to the storage shed. With all the "extra" stuff in my house I had to have the space back.
|
probably this weekend will take everything down but right now we still have company until Wednesday.
|
My house was de-decorated by 9:00 AM the day after Christmas. It was even dusted and vacuumed! I love the decorations up before Christmas, but when the day is over, it's time to take them down. I do, however, leave the Christmas quilts draped over the couches and chairs until the end of January.
|
I don't take anything down until Epiphany. My Christmas village is the worst to take down and put away. Didn't do nearly as much this wears as I did before, so not as much to put away. The Nativity is the first thing up and the last thing down.
|
did mine yesterday all put away and house back inorder
|
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. |
After Jan. 6th which is Little Christmas when the three Wise men arrived.
|
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.
