MamaHog said:I've heard the complete opposite. Ever since I was a kid, my parents kept their up through New Years, and now that I have my own tree, the tradition stands.
RNG said:I have heard that to Callahan. I usually take mine down Christmas night..lol but was to busy this year to do it. Haven't been home one night since either and probably won't be home long enough to do it till Sunday afternoon so guess mine is staying up :tapfoot2
I already thought that bad!Guard Dad said:We didn't put ours up this year, so doesn't matter either way. ;D
Lucky dog!Guard Dad said:We didn't put ours up this year, so doesn't matter either way. ;D
Well where did sandy claws " insertpictureofbearonbeach", put your gifts if there was no tree.Guard Dad said:We didn't put ours up this year, so doesn't matter either way. ;D
I can see that and have even thought about it. Since Christmas starts at Halloween now, I'm ready to be done with it. I want my uncluttered house back!ShoeDiva said:Callahan said:I've always heard that if your Christmas tree and decorations are still up on New Years, you will have bad luck into the new year.

We leave it up until the end of Epiphany (January 6) . As it should be. ) ( The twelve days of Christmas start on Christmas Day, and they end on Epiphany.)

We weren't at home that much this year. Plus time was in short supply.

I have always been flexible on the putting up. Usually it is the second week of December. My child loves the holiday so much and will drive me crazy if we waited that long, plus with so many friends and family we have too many celebrations to attend to wait longer. ) Up north we did have family that kept it up throughout Feb, but here they would just think I am weird. (well weirder LOL) I do think the take it down bad luck thing is an old wives tale, though I am not sure, just never heard of anyone taking down the tree before the Epiphany until I moved to Georgia.Genevieve said:Callahan said:I can see that and have even thought about it.

We celebrate Advent and then put up our Christmas tree on 12/24 when Christmas starts. ;D ;D ;D We usually get a free or greatly reduced price on a beautiful tree...
Ahhhh..........it pays to be a Catholic..........
