To take the tree down is it acceptable!

[Lichensclerosus]

My house is very compact and the fact ive got puppys nd children I'm seriously considering taking it down tonight

It's your house. Do whatever you want.

Why are you asking? You can do whatever you want in your own home.

I’m taking mine down tomorrow. But only because of our very annoying cat. I don’t want her to break anymore of our glass baubles. It’s been pretty stressful keeping her out of it this year. Hopefully she will be calmer next year, maybe? However i do like my decorations down before New Year’s Eve anyway.

Ah, Boxing Day. So MN is full of threads about taking the tree down and reclaiming the living room.

It’s your house, your tree… take it down… leave it up til march… make it a permanent feature… Whatever you like really.

I didnt put one up this year as last year one of our cats climbed it and kept eating through the bauble strings and chewing on the tinsel. At DDs suggestion we strung the lights on our bookcase because "wood is just a dead tree anyway". and we have one of these We also live in a small home and actually all the Christmas decorations can be overwhelming and Ive definitely taken the tree down on boxing day before.

Its your house. Your christmas. You dont have to have a full on Hallmark Christmas if it doesnt work for you.

Not where I’m from, 6th January at the earliest

But it’s your life, your house, your decision. Take it down if you want.

Completely ‘wrong’ for me - no earlier than Jan’ 6th is the rule. That said, if you want to take it down, it’s your call.

Mines just gone... I love it for a short time but three cats and a toddler. Man I'm over that tree! Plus, gotta make space for our new play kitchen!

You take the lot down when you want to surely.

I’m over mine already but I will resist. I do like it up for New Year’s Eve. I took it down early one year and I did regret it.

I did mumble something about taking it down yesterday…..

I never got around to putting any decorations or a tree up, so I’d say anything goes 😁

Been thinking the exact same thing, just don't have the space and can't get anything done with it there. Maybe tomorrow...

I was going to take ours down this morning, but DH wants to keep it up to NY.

When I'm created Dictator of the World nobody will be allowed to take decorations down before Twelfth Night or next year they aren't allowed to put them up at all.

Sadly as that hasn't happened yet knock yourself out!

Ours still has presents under it! But if you feel better taking it down then do it. Ours will come down New Year's Day at the latest but maybe before that if the newly crawling baby discovers it!
