| Just out of curiosity, when do you take down your Christmas decorations? My real tree had to go, it was dropping needles like crazy! In fact, by the time it made it out the door it was 3/4 naked LOL! Other than that, all my stuff is still up. I'm not tired of it yet so I can't say when it will come down. |

| It depends on how I’m feeling that year. A couple of years ago we left the tree up until the first week of February. Usually through Epiphany. But this year we put everything away last weekend. I miss the tree lights :( |

| Normally, we have it put away by now but it's been fairly busy since we returned home from our holiday with family and it is still up. JT asked last night what we have going on today and I told him taking down the tree. We don't actually dismantle the tree, we store it in an extra area in the basement. Only the ornaments get removed and put away. I might leave my mantle decorated for awhile just because I like it and it makes the room feel cozy. Most years I take down Christmas but leave up what is more winter like my snowmen, candles, etc. |

This is a useful poll! When you all take out real trees what do you do with them? Something like curbside pickup? Cut into kindling? Composted? Looking for more sustainable/zero-waste ideas over here.
Our first real tree went out a day or two after New Year's (dropping needles like crazy too). I used Epiphany as a cue to put away a lot of the extra décor (Advent calendars, stockings, holiday cards). There are still a few ornaments very assertively tied into the monstera I have not gotten around to liberating. Candles stay out as general winter hygge probably through spring equinox. |
