With me, trimming the tree in the first place is a thing I like to do very close to Christmas. And so one of the most beautiful things that will be in my home all year will still be brand new on Boxing Day.
So it stays to grace my place till mid-January every year. And free curbside carcas pickup stops after the 15th, I think.
I think about getting a fake tree every year, but never do. Sheesh, I've found a few stray needles just now from last year ... or perhaps from some earlier archeological era of Christmas. And I hate participating in the genocidal slaughter of the young pinelings.
But a real tree has a real spirit. And it wouldn't be one of the most beautiful things in my home all year without that.
