O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

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?
