One of my GFs had a 6-foot decorated artificial tree that she kept in her basement year around; she covered it with a large white sheet. They used to have a large family dinner in December and she held her dinner in the basement (she has a nice kitchen down there, bathroom, plenty of seating space, etc). They stopped having the dinner and she took the tree down. They got rid of it and they bought their first real tree in decades this year for their family room upstairs. It was really pretty.
I know a woman who keeps a tree in their sunroom year around. She decorates for the holidays: all red for Valentine's Day, all green for St. Patrick's, and so on. It's really pretty! If I had a place to do that (sans cats), I might consider keeping the Tacky White Tree in a special place for the year.
Christmas is done here. We got it all put away yesterday and I'm glad. I love Christmas, but with the trees and all the decorations, it's nice to get the house back.
While we were taking down the living room tree, Rick mentioned that our son said he thought we should put up the tree in our bedroom again. Well, Dear Richard is thinking of putting it up in the corner of the living room by the bay window next year. I asked him if he was thinking clearly! Six cats in the house and two Christmas trees in the living room? He just smiled and said, "Well, it's an idea!" (If we could somehow get the elliptical from the bedroom down into the basement, I'd consider putting up the Santa tree in the bedroom again. But only if we could find another place for the elliptical. That Santa tree is very bushy and it takes up space.)
