When Do You Toss Out Your Tree?

Jughead P. Jones · 12-27-2006, 05:41 PM

The tree usually comes down January 2nd here. We figure that after New Year's Day, the holidays are truly over, so no need keeping it up after that. We also have a fake tree, as my apartment complex has banned real trees for fear they may catch fire...but, I love real trees, oh, I do!

But, does anyone here do what Gretchen Wilson did in her "Redneck Woman" song, and keep their Christmas lights up on the front porch all year long?

Ooo! I would! I think the ornaments and lights are the best part of the tree. Oh, I just had a sad moment when I sat here at the computer. I bent down to plug in the lights to the tree....Yep, it isn't here!

But, back to the lights. I have had lights strung about. But not the multi-colored x-mas kind.

Well, not the porch ... but at my ex's good suggestion, I keep a few main strands of custom-colored christmas lights throughout the apartment.

It's pretty all year round, when I turn them on (in one room, they tend to be the main lighting) ... and it sure saves wear and tear on the crown moldings, not having to punch fresh holes in them year after year. They'd be wormswood inside a decade.

Eh, with my age-related time perception, it's Christmas every three months anyway.
