I don't know about you but once Christmas is over I am ready to get all the decorations packed away as soon as possible. Mine are going down today, how about you?
 
I take mine down New Years Day. I feel having it up gives me an excuse to keep drinking egg nog for an extra week. LOL
 
Ours will come down on New Year's Day. I'm such a sucker for the light I could leave it up year round.
 
I have a sneaking suspicion ours will be down today too. I try to wait longer, but I just can't. Christmas is over, tree and decorations must come down!
 
Ours will be coming down today or tomorrow. We didn't decorate the tree this yr other then the lights because we knew our 8 month old kitty would think it was a play house and that he did. He knocked it over a couple of time and ate one of the mini lights...ugh he's ok other then he' on the bad list.
Typically tho the tree comes down as soon as I can get it down as the clutter drives me a little crazy..lol
 
ours comes down over new years as well.

but holy crap i just got my electricity bill! :eek
 
Took everything down yesterday! I usually wait. But couldn't stand the clutter another second. Plus I had the yltime yesterday, later next week I won't. So bye bye Christmas!
 
i'm always fed up with all of it by the time Christmas day rolls around, so i'm ready on the 26th! :) ..next..
 
I'm guessing ours will come down this upcoming weekend. The kids really love the tree and hate to put it away.

Jacque, you are my HERO! Well, I got inspired by all my fellow scrooges, and our house is close to being back to normal. I feel so clean! LOL!
 
I'll wait until my kids go back to school on the 4th. It goes faster without their "help" LOL.
 
I usually take it down sometime after New Year's... probably next weekend... last year it came down on Boxing Day... literally... Mathieu (who was just over 1 at the time) decided to pull it down onto himself.... poor kid... lol!
 
i want mine down now but i am feeling rather lazy about it! lol! i think i will get them down this week sometime.
 
Taking mine down sometime this week - I love having them up, but I am ready for them to come down too!
 
Noooo! I can't believe you guys take them down so early! Mine will be up until the last minute, over here it's supposed to be unlucky to have them up later than 12th Night (6th Jan) so mine will be coming down then! When the kids are at school, so that it takes an hour rather than all day :giggle
