    I take my tree down after 12th Night which is New Years generally. I do leave the pine garlands up until Blessing of the Plow - it just keeps my spirits up through the long nights. :)

    Usually it is down either before New Years day or on New Years day but this year it stayed up longer as I have been very sick since Christmas Eve. Would be nice to blink an eye and have it all put away for me.

    Both the one in our LR and the one in our den, stay up until the feast of the Three Kings. (longer this year B cause I am full of allergies and not motivated just yet)

    You mean we're supposed to take it down? Mine's still up, and the village is still up, but most Santas and the Nativity are in boxes in the middle of the living room. Hope to get to it soon, but have a quilt class tomorrow!

    Oh definitely still up! I want the lights and special red decorations up for the darkest time of year, to rage rage against the dying of the light.

    Holiday decor is usually up a month at our house, from mid December till Martin Luther King day weekend. After that we take it all down except the snowmen and the red candles, which stay up until President's Day.

    Hope that's true b/c mine's still up! lol. Got a severe case of the stomach flu on 12/30, and didn't feel like doing it last week. Went back to work this week, so haven't had time yet. Planning on it this w/e though.
