I think it was Porky the porcupine, in Pogo, that observed that nothing packs its bags faster and leaves town quicker than the Christmas spirit. At least the trees stay around a bit longer
I used to prune my real trees down to just a stalk, let ‘em season outside for a year … then chop them up into 4 or 5 small logs and burn them in the fireplace the next Christmas morning! Sadly, this was the last Christmas morning for the fire tradition … yeah, we caved & went artificial this year …sigh….
Ours will be up at least one more week, Hopefully everyone will get over our colds and we can have our grand daughter over again before taking it down. It’s artificial so no problem with leaving it up

I guess the rationale is that the 12th day of Christmas was yesterday.

My mini tree was put in a 13 gallon trash bag, put in a storage cabinet and see you next year. Maybe.

Thanks for nagging me. I have a fake one so it’s not as bad. However, people who had real ones are gifting them to me for my goats.

We have an artificial tree. We just move it into the basement and cover it up
