**Do you still have your Christmas tree up? I do.

Though I know this is a very short Christmas time…I still have everything up.

I know that there are those that consider Christmas time to be through Feb 2…for those of us that follow the current calendar?

Is everything packed?**
 
Outdoor stuff is down after the Feast of the Baptism. The Tree will come down after the Feast of the Baptism in the Tridentine Calendar which would be Friday. The rest goes after February 2.
 
My cats make mince meat out of the indoor tree, I took it all down.
 
I usually leave it until I get a call from the town fire marshal.That is generally on or about 2 February, but with budget cutbacks this year, it might be sometime in July, unless it bursts into flames prior to that.

If I had an artificial tree, I’d chase the cat out of it on 2 February, and take most of it down over the next several weeks–Ash Wednesday is my absolute limit.

The outside lights were declared an air safety issue by the FAA, and are shut-off, as of 26 December.

I didn’t have a Christmas tree - the labrador would have destroyed it in seconds!

I did put up some very nice twinkly colour-changing lights at the top of my bookcases though, plus all the cards on the shelves and some lights on the front of the house. The lights indoors I’m keeping as they’re pretty. The lights outside I intend to take down as soon as I’m sure my bad back is healed. They got turned off on Friday 6th though, as is the general custom in the UK for removing decorations on Epiphany.

NB… the bad back was caused by putting up the Christmas tree at Church on Christmas Eve. Then, a week later when nearly better, I was exploring a nearby ancient church (over 1000 years old) and I tripped and re-injured myself and was in agony for a further week or so. Injured on Church premises on two successive occasions… Do you think God is trying to send me a message???
 
Haven’t had a tree for years, due to economics and cats, but I leave the Nativity set up until Feb 2.😃
 
I leave evrything up until after Feb 2nd- Nativity, Advent wreath with Christ candle, tree, lights, decorations…

But the cats really wanted a tree to attack.

LOL!

You ought to see what is happening to the Little Town of Bethlehem. Everytime a cat passes through town, he or she must rub every building with a cheek. Looks like a severe earthquake happening hourly!:eek:
 
Got the tree down last week. And the nativity scene is packed up too. However I left up the Christmas lights.
