[…] I love Kristen Lamb’s solution of just leaving it up and decorating it for other holidays, I’m not sure I can do it justice. I’m not interested in decorating for the popular […]

In reply to dianaranslam. LOL. Sometimes I think a live tree would have been taken down more quickly. It's easier to ignore the artificial tree in the dining room.

I once took all the decorations off but left the tree up. I had a fire place and it was easier to cut the limbs off and feed them to the fire than figure out how to dispose of the whole tree. It ended up as a pole in it’s stand, still proudly centered in the living room window.

In reply to Julie Glover. Love it, Julie. Much better than giving up coffee or chocolate.

Aloha Kristen, I linked this blog to my blog “Six February Holidays in the Same Week.” I posed the question of whether Valentine’s Day might be the time to take down the Christmas tree. http://www.sandrawagnerwright.com/six-february-holidays-in-the-same-week/

Truth Earnest Frank sooo delicious. Love/Truth Sometimes Truth can Hurt but the one who tells the Truth is one who loves. Hate does not exist Hate is a reaction or defense r/t fear of change, the unknown ,the queer;strange and unusual. The true coin of life, is Love on one side and Truth on the other side. Toss Up. Love All ways Hushpuppie

LOL. I’ve kept my Christmas tree (artificial) up (and all the other decorations) every year from Thanksgiving to at least Valentine’s Day for the past 19 + years with an occasional venture into the beginning of March. So I average 3-4 months. Of course, once I start taking down the tree and all the decorations, that process can take another month. LOL. Hubby keeps saying we need to just put a sheet over it, then come Christmas time, whip off the sheet and there she is! (Wish I had enough room for that!)

Okay, so I just caught this in my inbox. Behind or not I want to comment!

Left a (real) tree in my apartment up until sometime in February–the thing was a fire hazard so toward the end of its career the lights had to stay in ‘off’ mode. Good thing hubby takes ours down every year. My job has evolved into getting the ornaments he leaves in a tangled heap on the DR table put away. BTW, I recently noticed we still have a card hanger and homemade kiddie ornaments sitting on the front door. I keep looking at them and saying ‘later.’

Love your tree, Kristen. Works for me. 😀
