Much discussion has taken place this weekend over on Twitter and Facebook on when it's appropriate to take down the Christmas tree. So far I've heard:
Christmas Day
Not before New Year's--it's bad luck (this was the one I grew up with)
Epiphany (that would be today)
Never--make it an all season tree.
We've had our tree up a good long while this year. It went up Nov. 2 (yeah--that early) and we just haven't put it up yet. We went through a post-Christmas feeling this weekend with the cold weather and the smell of chimney's burning copius amounts of wood and a SANTA CLAUS trilogy that lasted until Sunday night. I suppose we'll get around to putting it up later this week.
I've got friends that have whole closets that hold their trees--upright and decorated with a bag over them. All they have to do next year is wheel them out. I have another friend who has 13 trees!
So--when do you take down your tree?
How long do you keep your Christmas tree up?
