Default Re: When do you take your Christmas decorations down?
Well, I once left a tree up until Easter. It was this HUGE (24 footer) flocked tree that we got on Christmas Eve. I saw it and fell in love with it but couldn't justify the price (newlywed and all that). No other tree came even close. Went back and made a heck of a deal with the guy. He even helped deliver it. But I just couldn't bear to take it down. My dear ex tolerated it but insisted it be removed before his mother showed up -- he was not going to explain my infatuation with that tree to her.

Maybe they leave their lights on cause it's too much effort to take them down?
