Taking Christmas Decorations Down? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I'm taking the decorations down tomorrow. I wanted it to look festive for another holiday weekend. Are yours still up or have you taken them down?

Chad22 · 01-03-2010, 10:01 PM

When I lived with my Mom, she ALWAYS took them down the day after Christmas. Now that I'm living on my own, I still have them all up and I may just leave them up another month.

I absolutely hate taking down decorations. Mine are still up, but will be taken down this week.

Stormtracker TF · 01-04-2010, 07:48 AM

I took mine down today for the most part, the rest I'll leave up until I get a place to put them away at. It's hard to do because I love them so much.

They went down yesterday aside from one little small decoration that probably won't get put up for another few days.

Pitooey · 01-04-2010, 09:11 AM

I took them down except for the outside ones which I'll be taking down today. I don't like cluuter anymore.

robyrob · 01-04-2010, 11:31 AM

we just got into an argument over this on the weekend - I wanted to get them all down and put AWAY, she wants it to keep looking all festive and Christmasy until they get covered in dust.

the cats are on her side because they like the tree, so its staying up... for now.

I got my outside and most of my inside decorations down and packed away. I feel better that's done, all my totes aren't sitting around in my house. I still got my tree up though, and that will stay up for a few more weeks. I don't know why but I started doing that a couple years ago. Guess I don't want the WHOLE Christmas season to just go away.

They got taken down the day after Christmas.

cablejockey · 01-04-2010, 02:27 PM

Mine got taken down and put away yesterday. Tree and all. My sister says that its bad luck to take tree down before Jan 6, but I just couldnt stand it another day!

LuLu Rogers · 01-04-2010, 02:35 PM

My Dad won't allow them to be put up until December 1st, and Mom takes them down December 26th, LOL

Fleet · 01-04-2010, 04:57 PM

Mine will be taken down at the end of next weekend (late Sunday).

MrCleveland · 01-04-2010, 05:38 PM

They're all now down!

When I have a very bad year (like 2009) I would take my decorations down as soon as New Years Day.

When I have a good or great year, I would take my Decorations down the Sunday after Ephiphany.

steevo · 01-04-2010, 06:50 PM

I took mine down this past Saturday (2nd). I always have mine up from the Day after Thanksgiving to the day after New Years.
