I knew a girl who would take their tree down on the day after Christmas!!…and my neighbor who was Russian celebrated Christmas later than we did and would go out and take one in that others had already thrown out… and then she would have LIVE candles on them!!! I believe she only kept it up for the one day, I guess because they were already getting dry, and a fire hazard!… These neighbors and I would laugh about how different our practice of dealing with Christmas trees was!… Mine were often up till my son’t birthday at the end of January! One year recently, my family couldn’t celebrate X-mass till late, and we had an artificial one up till Feb. !
I do have to agree with the little brat…. but I really wonder how many “New Years” he actually remembers with that childhood age of amnesia… which for ME, was quite long… I don’t remember much younger than 6 years old, and had no knowledge of what it actually WAS till much older!
“LET”? How old is he???
