This weekend.
I'm ready for some clean surfaces and open spaces.

I did it on the 2nd. I wanted to get everything packed up before I went back to work.

My super fantastic black Christmas tree is coming down tomorrow night.

No.

sextonseven said:

I'm glad someone else brought it up.

This weekend.

sextonseven said:

aw, that's ok

Except for the mantle alter - it's been down since the 1st-2nd

I have one 6' tree up still, and the 3' in the living room is up. I just ran out of Sterlite containers to restore stuff. I bought a bunch of black and brown ornament balls the day after Christmas at half price. They ate up my store containers. I just need like two and I'll be set. I'll get them this weekend.

I took down the Christmas tree on New Year's Eve

sextonseven said:

I wanna get one for next year! I'm gonna decorate it all in pink and silver.

j/k I'm sure you'd make it look amazing.

Obviously I was going for a different look with mine--all black ornaments with purple lights.

sextonseven said:

That sounds lovely also.

matthewgrant said:

I was definitely sober, but that damn tree had been mocking me for a whole week, so before I left out on New Years I had to take it's ass down.

We had our Christmas stuff down by New Years Eve.

My dad always said it was bad luck to start the new year with the decorations still up

thekidsgirl said:

My family would say that when we were younger. As everyone got older and busier, "lazy" took over "luck".

chocolate1 said:

Oh of course! That happens with everything

sextonseven said:

did you get a photo of it then?

chocolate1 said:

the tree and indoor things were down by the new year and the outdoor stuff came down last Saturday...

ZombieKitten said:

No.

I'll try to take one tomorrow morning if the light is good.

I didn't put any up this year. I also notice there was less xmas decorations around NYC altogether this year.
