I can't stand to look at our holiday stuff after the first week of January. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1414035 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 11:10:14 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1414035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we took everything down right after New Years. I actually get really annoyed when people in our neighborhood have outdoor lights up past January. I know it shouldn't bother me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1414001 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 11:02:09 +0000 ElbieKay 1414001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, the kittens were constantly chasing each other around the base, fighting behind it, climbing the tree, and chewing on it. There were constantly needles everywhere. It was driving us crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1413982 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 10:57:08 +0000 Alivoo01 1413982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I took it down mid-January so that I could assemble and put DS's exersaucer in the living room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1413937 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 10:45:48 +0000 katsupgirl 1413937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just put ours out today. With the holiday and potential snow it was now or never. I miss the pine smell but happy to have the space back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1413928 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 10:43:34 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1413928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. We took it down sometime in January. I packed the ornaments away and the the empty tree say there for a couple weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1413889 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 10:32:35 +0000 bunnylove08 1413889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: You're not the only one. My sister and I are too lazy to get the box from the attic and take it down.</p> <p>@thismustbetheplace: this is a really cute idea I'm going to have to tell my sister </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1413885 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 10:30:52 +0000 pinkcupcake 1413885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, it came down the week after Christmas. I think the longest I've ever had our (real) tree up was mid-January. There were brown needles all over the place - drove me nuts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1413884 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 10:30:03 +0000 rattles 1413884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We actually had to take ours down the week before Christmas. We had a live tree and were headed out of state for a couple of weeks, so we took it down on 12/20. We did, however, have our nativity and Christmas cards up through the better part of January, and our boxes of Christmas stuff are tossed into a closet instead of having been taken to the basement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1413876 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 10:28:29 +0000 Bao 1413876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! I was glad to take it down and make space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1413863 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 10:25:26 +0000 thismustbetheplace 1413863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: Is it a fake tree? I have a friend who keeps her tree up and decorates it for whatever holiday is coming up next! It's actually pretty cute :) I assume she has Valentines day decorations up now.</p> <p>We put our Christmas stuff away on NYE... but just realized the wreath on our front door was up until last week :silly: oops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1413830 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 10:15:56 +0000 psw27 1413830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No ours was so dry it had to go ASAP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1413805 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 10:09:52 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1413805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. We took it down on Dec. 22nd!<br /> It was funny seeing a Christmas tree abandoned on the curb before Christmas. We were out of town for three weeks and I didn't want to come home to a pile of needles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1413791 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 10:06:33 +0000 knittylady 1413791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but our wreath is! Gotta remember on trash day (she says every week...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1413790 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 10:06:32 +0000 Dandelion 1413790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope...it went out into the woods the day after Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1413785 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 10:05:36 +0000 LovelyPlum 1413785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not this year, but there have been several years in recent memory where our Christmas decorations have made it to Valentine's Day. So you're not alone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1413777 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 10:04:06 +0000 mrs. bird 1413777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope, but our tree &amp; decor is still boxed waiting for mr. bird to take it down to the basement of the building :( i can't do it myself and he's been working all. the. time (as in he did 28hrs of OT just over the wk end, he's not being lazy). next time he has a day off or gets home before 830, that's his task! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1413741 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 09:56:42 +0000 Smurfette 1413741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! DH wants it down before the New Year. Some old Southern thing that it is bad luck to have it up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1413722 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 09:51:52 +0000 MsLipGloss 1413722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took ours down just a little while ago . . . LO loved the tree and turning on the lights! I just didn't have the heart to take it down sooner. We schlepped the last box of boxed up decorations down to the basement last weekend.</p> <p>ETA: We took our outside decorations down before we took the tree down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1413718 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 09:51:28 +0000 blackbird 1413718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ahhh i'm amazed by the people who still have christmas decoration up outside! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1413713 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 09:50:00 +0000 twodoghouse 1413713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but there have been years when it was up pretty late into the new year! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1413681 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 09:43:48 +0000 teamjse 1413681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope came down 2 days after XMas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1413680 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 09:43:45 +0000 prettylizy 1413680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG no, that puppy was taken down on Boxing Day this year. I was feeling clausterphobic upstairs with the tree in the main living space. </p> <p>Same as @mrsjyw: our outdoor stuff is still up because it's been too cold/snowy to take it down. Makes me crazy because our outdoor pot lights are red and green and there is noting we can do about it until the weather breaks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1413676 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 09:42:55 +0000 autumnlove 1413676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The fresh tree and ornaments have been down since early January. The mini tree w/o ornaments is still up! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1413670 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 09:41:16 +0000 pui 1413670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but it was up until the end of January lol! It was a real tree and it was SO STIFF and dry it was really hard to cram out our door lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1413669 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 09:41:13 +0000 Mae 1413669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. We force ourselves to de-christmas on new years day every year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1413663 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 09:39:17 +0000 snowjewelz 1413663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took down all the decorations after new years, then I think it hung around for another week or so. I actually felt bad throwing it out b/c it still looked so healthy! I asked DH if we could plant it in the yard :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1413658 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 09:38:09 +0000 cmomma17 1413658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: wow! :)</p> <p>If we're being honest - three Rubbermaid tubs of Christmas decor are still sitting in our living room, waiting to be taken to storage. The reason though, is that we have been using them as a barrier to block LO into the living room! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1413653 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 09:37:00 +0000 mrsjyw 1413653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, took it down the first week of Jan. But our outdoor lights are still up! We haven't had a break from snow or cold to even try to take them down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-still-up-1#post-1413649 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 09:35:54 +0000 Rubies 1413649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is.<br /> :(</p> <p>Too lazy to take it down!!! </p>
