after i put xmas tree up for some days when i put it down
I’ll take them off after Epiphany, on the 7th or 8th. I like to disconnect a bit from the Christmas season.
I took mine down last night. My Christmas wasn’t the best, and I’d rather not think about it. I miss the open space of my living room. Anyway, I usually take everything down this week.
Normally, around January 2nd, New Year’s Day, I wake up feeling fed up. Right now, I’m too tired to do anything. The outdoor lights will probably stay on the roof until May.
The weekend after New Year’s, we took our tree to a nearby farm where the animals like to eat Christmas trees as a treat.
We’ve put it off until Valentine’s Day, before it really matters how much seasonal depression affects us. The twinkling lights, somehow, help.
A day or two after Christmas, I start destroying everything. I just want to get back to normal once the holidays are over.
In mid-January, when I get the urge to clean, haha, I don’t usually have everything ready until early or mid-December, and I want to enjoy the holiday spirit while I still have time between Christmas and New Year’s. The next few days are the height of the holiday season for me.
I’ll wait until after Martin Luther King.
You don’t have to take down anything you’ve never put up before. This year I didn’t feel like it, and besides, I’m visiting my family for Christmas, so I didn’t. Normally, shortly after Christmas, when I put up the tree,
Epiphany of January 7
My apartment is small, so mine is already broken.
Since I like to start the new year fresh and clean, with nothing on my to-do list, I prepare everything very early before the New Year, around the first week of November, so I can enjoy it for a long time.
This year we’re waiting until March to take down the tree and the interior decorations. Winter is a very sad time after the holidays, and the joy of decorating makes me happy.
The tree is taken down the day after Epiphany or shortly after, after eating the first and usually only king’s cake of the year.
I’ll probably start taking everything apart this weekend.
