It is so pretty that I hate doing it. One year when I was living with roommates, I left the tree up until July. I did it out of spite in January because they didn't help me decorate or clean up so I took off the ornaments and said they could handle the tree. They never touched it so I started decorating it for each holiday after that: valentines on the tree, shamrocks and green lights, etc. Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959492917608331562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-8577632598391663022016-01-28T06:17:28.777-06:002016-01-28T06:17:28.777-06:00We always take our tree down around my Birthday (2...We always take our tree down around my Birthday (2nd January). I don't mind it being up for my Birthday but my mum likes to try and separate Christmas and Birthday celebrations so takes the tree down, plus she likes to have it down before she goes back to work. It always goes up on the first Saturday of December.<br /><br />Hollie | hollieshighlights.blogspot.co.ukHolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04483547180757870792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-5064046259145781022016-01-27T20:09:48.103-06:002016-01-27T20:09:48.103-06:00We took ours down a few days after the New Year, I...We took ours down a few days after the New Year, I was ready for it to come down.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092211937888152360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-16732149121747130972016-01-27T15:00:16.443-06:002016-01-27T15:00:16.443-06:00This year was weird for us - I put the tree up Tha...This year was weird for us - I put the tree up Thanksgiving weekend like we always do but without ornaments. I think a part of me was hoping we'd get the condo on the market so I'd have to clean it up anyway. Then the weekend after new years I took it down with the for sale hope again so I usually keep it up longer but not this past holiday.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16248935374379919175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-22150370231485866302016-01-27T12:56:44.986-06:002016-01-27T12:56:44.986-06:00soooo my mum always put the tree up early december...soooo my mum always put the tree up early december i think. but then, after school finished (or on the last day) we went down to melbourne to be with family for our christmas / summer holidays for like 3-4 weeks. my nana had a tiny tree in her house. when we came back to sydney, our tree was gone. i never put 2 and 2 together, my mum would take the tree down before christmas so it wasn't sitting there for her to do when she got back (with 3 kids and a car full of crap). so, long story (not very) short, i take my tree down immediately, like christmas day / boxing day immediately. but i like to think that is my reason lol.Kristen @ See You In A Porridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592108031437491276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-83271168344998836642016-01-27T12:30:03.584-06:002016-01-27T12:30:03.584-06:00I have a little pre-lit one that sounds a lot like...I have a little pre-lit one that sounds a lot like your first one. I just took it down on Monday because I was off from work and felt like it was time. Even though I like the cozy feeling of the twinkling lights, I like to try to take it down right after Three King's Day. lil desiquahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12702603642296991017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-85996595033125363972016-01-27T10:44:09.408-06:002016-01-27T10:44:09.408-06:00I've got one up on you here.

They are still up (but I don't turn them on). It's too cold to go outside and take them down!Becky Doughertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11137408537369933534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-27447069889285763592016-01-27T10:17:22.355-06:002016-01-27T10:17:22.355-06:00i've had some ins and outs with our tree like ...i've had some ins and outs with our tree like you. sometimes I leave it up for months. Sometimes (like this year) it came down immediately (and I'm forever thankful to the person I was on dec 31 with the gusto to take it down--not knowing for sure what was coming, I'm glad now in the aftermath of losing my dad, I'm not also left with taking down christmas). I like my tree and the lights though. I want lights up year-round.Joey Hodges https://www.blogger.com/profile/03924167639294786738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-813779828536718002016-01-27T09:53:46.237-06:002016-01-27T09:53:46.237-06:00We have 5 Christmas trees in our house and the las...We have 5 Christmas trees in our house and the last one just came down a week ago. The one in our master bedroom is the last to be taken down because I just love laying in bed with the light of the tree on. I honestly think I could leave it up all year!Penny @ Penny's Passionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11037071327759041413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-47878415999338860082016-01-27T09:34:20.679-06:002016-01-27T09:34:20.679-06:00We buy a real tree.

My husband, also from Oregon loves real trees and Christmas. We buy our tree after thanksgiving and keep it up until end of December or first part of January. This year when we returned from a week in Paris, I was less than motivated to water it. So it came down before New Years. Christmas lights are my favorite and I'd keep them up year round if hubby would let me.
