Title: Christmas items?
Post by: ktheodos on January 02, 2020, 04:49:50 pm: So when do people take down trees and decorations and stop listening to Christmas music?

Post by: aflyingmonkey on January 02, 2020, 04:57:21 pm: I no longer listen to Christmas music... But, I am currently watching Home Alone (a timeless Christmas movie, sort of) right now -- in the background while I work.

The Christmas Tree comes down after the Epiphany -- so it will be dismantled not this week-end, but the next.

Post by: gaylasue on January 03, 2020, 03:43:23 am: I quit playing Christmas music on the 26th. I have been slowly dismantling my tree. So many ornaments that I have been collecting the past 40 years. I still have most of the original boxes so it takes a while to get them all back in the proper box.

So when do people take down trees and decorations and stop listening to Christmas music?

I take my decorations down the day after Christmas. Could listen to Christmas music at any time during the year. Not sure why it offends people what type of music "I" listen to.

Why is the United States on HIGH ALERT? Have not seen anything about this.

Post by: JaniceSW on January 03, 2020, 06:59:38 am: Well, I didn't put up ANY Christmas decorations this year. I live alone and just wasn't into getting them out and then putting them all away. Generally, I put decorations up the first week of December and take them down the first or second week in January depending on how I'm feeling. As far as Christmas music is concerned, I only listen to it while I am decorating, am out in the stores shopping, or am in the car heading out to Christmas shop!

Post by: braggin on January 03, 2020, 08:07:30 am: A lot of people in my neighborhood have been putting their trees out this week for the town to pick up. And I don't hear Christmas music on the TV and radio much any more this week at all too. So I'd say the whole Christmas thing pretty much starts winding down during New Years week.

Post by: jkhanson on January 05, 2020, 01:15:19 pm: I take my tree and decorations down on my first weekend off work after Christmas. No specific date, just whatever day I have the time. Today I am sorting through the Christmas boxes and plan to downsize .
