How long do you keep your tree up?

I usually take it down just in time for the trash day before New Year. This year, trash day is after Jan 1st, so it will stay up for an extra day or two (we have a real tree).

Usually until after all our family celebrations are over. Our last one is the 30th so I will probably use NYD to take it down. We observe Epiphany in church but I don’t see any obligation to leave the tree up until then.

When mine comes down just depends when I have time. Last year I was off the whole week of Christmas, so it came down that week. This year I didn't take time off and I have plans all weekend. So I'll probably start taking stuff down New Years day, which I have declared is a pajama day. But it probably won't all be down and put away till that weekend.

We put it up the day after Thanksgiving, so by Christmas it’s getting pretty dried out and it’s shedding a lot of needles. Ours will probably come down sometime next weekend. The longer we wait, the more of a mess it makes getting it out of the house. I’m kind of ready right now to get my house back in order, but Thanksgiving was early this year so the tree has already been up an extra week. I’ll stop watering it around Friday so the stand is mostly empty by Sunday.

Today or tomorrow. Ready for it to be down. Ready to have space again.

I selected New Year's but actually I always make sure it is down before New Year's Day....my mom says it is bad luck to have it up past 12/31

Epiphany is Jan 6th. It is the day when the arrival of the 3 kings is celebrated in many Christian churches.

We don’t put ours up until right before Christmas, so we don’t take it down until the epiphany. We celebrate Christmas as the 12 days of Christmas, so we are just getting started!

Growing up, our tree was up until 1/7 of the new year.  Now Some years we get a real tree and I leave it up longer—TIL around 12/30–‘cause I just like it.  When we use the fake tree, we take it down a couple days after Christmas.  We are out of town right now, so I’ll take it down as soon as we get home.m

I take it down anytime between New Years and the Epiphany.  Truthfully, usually I am scrambling to get it down the night before the scheduled day that the Merry Mulch people pick up our trees.  

If I miss that pickup I have to cart it to the dump/mulch pile myself.  And unfortunately that might involve having to cut the tree in pieces so that it will fit into the vehicle.  And then having pine needles showing up for 6 months after...and don’t ask me how I know this.  

I take it down New Year's day, because the family likes it.

Honestly, I'm already tired of it.

I take it down for whenever the last tree pick up garbage day is.

The years we also put up my artificial trees, those can stay up for quite some time!! One year we left up my white tree, and then decorated it for winter (removed anything obv Christmas looking, did a woodland thing), Valentine’s Day, St Patrick’s, and then Easter. We took it down after Easter because I ran out of decorating ideas. My kids still sometimes mention wanting to do a full year of the white tree, decorated differently for every holiday throughout the year.

Epiphany at the earliest, but some years I take the ornaments off and the r/w/g lights, and put blue/white lights and some snowflakes on it and have it up into January. It’s very wintery and peaceful, and artificial so not a problem to have it up longer.

I also keep a smaller 4 foot lit tree in the dining room year round, I change out the ornaments monthly.

I leave mine up until New Year's Day or the day after. I feel like the week after Christmas is when I finally have the time to enjoy it.
