I had a friend who always got a balled tree for Christmas.
It stayed in his house until he could plant it on his property in the Spring.
First time I saw a Valentine's Day tree.......

For those of you who put up a Christmas tree, when do you take it down? I'd like to get my living room back. I know that some people keep it up till January 6, Little Christmas.
We're taking ours down either this weekend or next week.

If you don't put one up in the first place, then you don't have be concerned about when to take it down.

I have been known to take it down in April.
It needs a lot of needle cleanup by that time.
I switched to an artificial tree a while back and the tree gets back to storage when I get a round tuit.
My living room is large enough that the tree is not in the way.

My old artificial tree also leaves a lot of needles on the floor. I'll turn off the tree light and outside lights tomorrow. I always plan to take pictures of local lights, but I never do. Next year!
As long as I have an open path through the living room, I'm satisfied.

Epiphany, Jan 6th, the day Christ is presented to the gentiles, (the 3 Kings) and symbolically the rest of the world. Lots of traditions centered around the epiphany and the eve of the epiphany.

I've done nothing with decorations. I've been working on other things, and there is snow in the forecast for today.

When it gets too dry. This year, it was January 6.

The tree is still up, but the lights will no longer come on. I'll be busy (and tired) with snow removal, so I don't know how far I'll get un-decorating." We have 8" of snow, and it's still coming down.

The other day, my wife asked me about the tree in the corner of the living room. I agreed and went out to the garage. I brought in the chain saw. Revved it up and started to cut. My wife came down stairs yelling, “what the F*** are you doing?”
I calmly said that she asked me to cut down the tree. She said that she meant take it down. I didn’t realize it was an artificial tree. But now that explains all the sparks!!
ROTFLMAO!!!

Scruples don't you know that you're supposed to use cutting torch or as a last resort an angle grinder with a cut off blade.

My wife won’t let me use a torch in the house. I wanted to enjoy a nice cigar and when I tried to light it, she had a cow!!
Thanks for the New Years advice. Next year it might be a tree in the backyard.
