We tend to take our down the day of New Years. Since we have a fake one which is fiber optics it is not so much of a rush for us, however, if you have a real one then how long before it makes too much of a mess?

We usually take our tree down on January 1 of the new year. We like to buy a real tree because it makes the house smell nice. Once we take it down, we take it to one of the recycling centers near us. They are used to be taken to the beach and piled up to create sand dunes.

That is a good thing to do and a good thing comes from it. The dune are a great thing to have and to have something that they can be supported with is the best thing.

Well, I actually didn't get one up this year. But in the years that I did put one up, I took it down on January 1st. I too have an artificial one. Once in awhile we get a real one but it comes down the same day, we just don't put it up as soon as we would a fake one.

Sorry to hear that you had no tree this year. Even though space is in short supply here we got one of the Fiber Optic little trees that WalMart had a year ago. I imagine your gifts were put on a table. Anyway, I hope you still had a nice Christmas!

I will wait until the day after New Years day, I put it up the Wednesday before Christmas but the boys kep climbing it and its looking very shabby, so I'm afraid it'll go in the bin this time.


myLot reputation of 72/100. Willowlady (8982)   ranked 694 out of 14,939 in parenting  3 years ago

Rambunctious boys you must have there. Was it a sythetic tree? A live one would have given them pine stains and smell! Glad you could spend time with your family.

We are the same as you. We usually take our tree down around New Years. I usually don't seem to light it up after Christmas day though. It seems odd to me once Christmas is over. I just hate to take it down. It always makes me sad. I love the holiday time and I hate when it ends. It is kind of a let down.


myLot reputation of 72/100. Willowlady (8982)   ranked 694 out of 14,939 in parenting  3 years ago

I feel like you though by Christmas night I am thinking whew, it is over. The holidays are so much fun and we wait all year that we get caught up in it and before we know it, it is over.

Our tree normally stays up until just after the New Year. But since the new year is on Monday...I am wondering if I want to take it down this weekend. But I can say that I have never taken it down before the New Year.

By the second week of January. Our garbage company won't haul it away free any later than that. Also by that time, the tree lets out a very strong dry pine smell, so when that happens, I know it's time for the tree to go.


myLot reputation of 72/100. Willowlady (8982)   ranked 694 out of 14,939 in parenting  3 years ago

That is something I miss is the pine smell! Not sure where you live, but could you put it out for the wild critters to find shelter in like at the back of the property or on a fence row?

We also use a fake one - we usually take it down after the 1st of the year because we are so busy after X-mas. We still have ours up but will probably take it down tomorrow, the 1st.

well this is the first year I had my own tree. Usually my mom did all the taking down. But I am not sure when we will take our tree down. I really don't want to do it by myself but my fiance works all the time so he is tired when he gets home. Plus we are moving at the end of the month so hopefully before then!!


myLot reputation of 72/100. Willowlady (8982)   ranked 694 out of 14,939 in parenting  3 years ago

Good luck with the moving!! It is great that you two share the taking down of the tree. I hope he helped you put it up too!!
