Death of a Christmas Tree

mrsamyjones

So yes I just got done tearing down my christmas tree. There aren't any drop off locations near me so our brilliant idea was to hack it up into smaller pieces and put it in our green waste bin...great until the saw broke and now all we have is an 9 foot stump that we cant cut down enough to fit in the bin...Oh life

What is the longest you've waited to take down your christmas decorations?

They always come down before January 2nd. Always.

Well, when I was in college I wouldn't come back until classes staretd, but I'd always take them down first chance I got upon my return. I guess my answer is halfway through January.

My dad was in a car accident that broke pretty much everything on Dec. 28th one year, and he was in the hospital for weeks and then home with a nurse for months. My uncles finally came and took down our outside lights and tree around March. My sister and I took all the decorations off in late January, but we couldn't get it outside. My mom was working and then taking care of my dad around the clock, so we were the losers with lights up for months and months. AND they were wired into our porch light, so every time the porch was on the lights were on.

sorry about your dad Bec.

We leave ours up until January 6th.  Tthe 12 days of Christmas ends on the 5th and the 6th is the Feast of the Holy Family and/or the Ephiany.

Wow.  That's some serious love.

Never. Because we don't put them up in the first place!
