How long after Christmas do you keep your tree up?

Question

Moose304 · Accepted Answer

I don't put up Christmas decorations or a tree. My mom always took her stuff down on the 1st. One of my aunts always took hers down the next day. Those old cedar trees are dangerous to keep long. I have seen where a regular size tree went up in flames in just a few moments and that fire destroyed that entire part of the house. Take those trees down!

That depends on my dogs 🤕. I' ll renove the decoration by Jan, 6th - if there's a chance. But my "tree" will stay longer (it simply returns to its previous status)

Last year we kept it up until the second week of January and the recycling services were closed so we had to take it to a forest and hide it in there like mission impossible. This year, we are definitely doing it while tree recycling takes them still! LMFAO

My dad and I usually leave it up for a week after New Tears. It's an. artifical tree. If you have a lice tree just make sure it hasn't dried out if that happens live trees can become a fire hazardous a live tree dose smell great

aWes0MeNeSs · Answer

However long until I feel like putting it away. 🤣

In all seriousness though, typically before New Year's Eve. Mine is still up as of now, but will be likely taken down sometime this week. However, everything has been crazy this year, so this may be the first year it stays up past New Year's Eve if things continue the way they've been.

SecretsofKB · Answer

Usually not much longer after New Years. Last year really sucked so I left it up until the end of January.  This year it'll be down around my usual time.

melanieeeB · Answer

Until mid January, that's when the trees are getting picked up

molonski2 · Answer

I was always taught that the decorations were to stay up until 15 th January , they begin on 1 st week of December , I've always followed this schedule , it then encompasses a season not just a day , as to me its the season that's important , this encompasses Christmas , New Year , and my birthday. I will always follow this formula.

diamonddreams · Answer

Usually we leave ours till the 6th-10th of January, a week or 2 after New Years

Traditionally all Christmas decorations should come down by the 6th of January. The 12 Days of Christmas starts on Christmas Day, so the 12th day would be January 6th

I will keep ours up to New Years Day and I have over a 50 year Santa Claus my late maternal grandma gave us and it's worth money but I refuse to part with it and I got it lit as well and Santa will retire to next year.

Back home we have the custom of keeping it until Jan 6 which is the baptism of Jesus but since I moved I don't even put a tree up anymore, too much work for a guy living alone

St37xy11 · Answer

As late as April. We keep it up long because my mom likes it so much, the decorations brighten up the house. But my dad will fight with us every day to take it down. We have a plastic tree by the way.

This year I forgot to water it, so Dec 26 it is. Has a big reservoir on my stand but it took a lot more water than usual this year. Noticed some needles down and it was bone dry. A couple days later it’s in tough shape. Whoops.
