Fake tree. No dry fire hazards. No urgent reason to take it down.

Won't it just pack itself up nicely without me?

I'm a traditionalist - decor comes down on January 6th, or reasonably close to that.

See, that's one of the reasons I don't mind getting a real tree every year - its a good way to ensure that it gets taken down in a resonable time-frame!

We took all our Christmas stuff down today

I think I might have accidentally taken down a few other decorations as well.

I'd let ya know when I get some sleep.

Pickup today. Tree go bye-bye.

Our tree came down yesterday. Even with the LED lighting on it, that tree was really dead. Happily, no major piles of needles to sweep up.

City is picking it up today and mulching it.

The tree, the outdoor lights and all the other accompaniments stay up for the full twelve days of Christmas. We have a nativity scene that keeps the clock. The baby Jesus shows up on Christmas morning. The wise men also show up Christmas day but are placed in a back room. For each day of Christmas my wife (seriously, you did not think this was my doing right?) moves the wise men a bit closer so that they "arrive" on Epiphany.

After that the outside lights go dark and the tree comes down at the first opportunity.

So today's the day the Mohel shows up, right?
