We made it through the holidays, most of us more or less intact! Well...almost. New Year's Eve and Day are still coming up.
When do you take down your decorations each year? Is there a specific time, or is it just when you are tired of it all?
My tree comes down on New Year's Day afternoon. For no other reason than that is when it always came down when I was growing up. We put the tree up on the day after Thankgiving, and hauled it out on Jan 1. The darned things had practically become family members by then. My dad made some water mixture for the trees, and I never saw one get the least bit dry or shed a single needle! Wish I knew what was in that water!
