De-Christmasing

As I mentioned before, this is our first Christmas in our house. We had a wonderful Christmas and I hope that you all did as well. But, when the heck do you take the Christmas stuff down?!

The boy scouts don't come to get the tree until Saturday morning. So I'll take the tree decorations down Friday. But do I leave everything else up too?

Hubby probably won't have time to take the lights down for awhile. I was surprised the neighbors turned theirs on tonight so we did too. How long do you turn you lights on for?!

Help me! Help me!

  1. We've always left our decorations up until after the new year. So I'll be taking ours down on the 1st! Not sure about outdoor stuff...my parents use to leave the lights up until the new year as well.

  3. I'll take mine down over the New Year's holiday. Might as well enjoy them, since they take so stinking long to put up!

  4. I'll work on taking down the small decorations over the next few days, but the tree (artificial) will stay up until the new year.

  5. Growing up my parents kept everything up until New Year's Day. I took everything down yesterday. The only thing left is the tree, which Jeff needs to handle. It's a fake tree, so it's easy, he just needs to do it.

  6. I leave my stuff up until after the New Year but I've read so many girls already packing their stuff away.

  7. I usually use my return to school as the barometer for when I should take decorations down - this year, its January 9th:)
