So dude. I have had this Christmas tree up for nearly a month. Enough is enough! I announced over the weekend that tomorrow I am hauling it out and packing it away. That was greeted by Richard (my better half?) with a mild protest. He wants it up till after New Years. Ew. I mean, okay, people all have traditions. My mother and I have been known to take it down Christmas Day. Come on, *after presents* of course! We’d even wait till after lunch, then out it went! So for me the thing is well outlived its welcome. So my question is: When is the appropriate time to de-Christmasify your home?

when do you take the tree down?

Yesterday morning I walked into work and experienced full-blown Christmas decorations. Let’s just check the date shall we? Yesterday was Friday the nineteenth. The nineteenth of October. No wonder I wanted to gouge my eyes out and run for the hills.
