I just mentioned to DH that I was going to run to the store to see if they had a clearance tree topper today, since we don't have one. . . and haven't for a few years now (whoops). He mentioned that the tree has to come down by New Year's Day anyway. I have never heard of such a thing. I think I remember the tree being up a week or two into January as a kid because we'd have people over and it looked festive.
Does anyone have a rule they use in their household about when the tree comes down? Does it matter whether it is a fake or real tree?
For the record, it has been up for about a week. . . . we were really slackers this year!
