So, is your Christmas tree still up?

Christmas, Yule, Saturnalia, and whatever the Saxon word is for solstice -- it's all about light in the darkest time of  year. And colour! -- everything outside is brown and gray and dingy.

Ours is still up. Not for long I think, but still up.

I didn't have a tree, but I strung lights in the house, and yes they are still up and still on :D

We usually don't have a tree because we travel for the holidays, but, yes, the wreath on the door is still there.  I am telling myself that I will take it to the garden when I go next.  I will probably forget.

we took all our stuff down on Three Kings Day, but I find myself missing the Christmas lights so much that I was thinking of putting them back up!!

Technically?

We didn't do a traditional tree this year, we decorated an indoor Norfolk Island Pine for our celebration. While we have de-decorated it now, it still stands!

We didn’t do much regarding decorations this year. No tree. Roughly, Thanksgiving to New Year was one crisis after another. I did hang a couple of wreaths above/on the fireplace.  They are still there. I will take them down when spring hits.

That word works. I have a 9 inch conical Christmas tree my sister, may she rest in peace, crocheted for me decades ago. The ornaments are round buttons sewn on and it is wrapped with one of those old necklaces that look like Christmas lights, some of which actually light up red (the first LED light to be common - remember those days?) My son got it out when he was looking for lights put put up in his basement apartment, and it went away about a week ago when those lights came back and went away.

For just before Christmas day itself, Hubby had brought us a 18 inch decorated tree with lights from his parent's house about a decade ago. I dug out a little collapsible table (another story) for it to sit on, put the presents under it, leaned the filled stockings against it, put the little tree on top of it - instant Christmas. I actually quite liked the effect, except the poor thing is quite under-engineered. There isn't any significant weight at the bottom. It takes next to nothing to tip it over. I spent the holidays trying to figure out a fix that wouldn't look ugly as sin. I knocked it over once too often and back in the bag it went. However, just before that happened, I had gone through our ribbons and bows box looking for material for another issue when I spotted some ribbon that would go very nicely with the little tree. Next year, I will sew the ribbon to the burlap material the base is covered in, that will go through the slats on the table nicely and can be fastened underneath and little tree will be secure.

It hardly counts as "up" or "down" when they fit into bags just as is. Hopefully my son removed the rechargeable battery from the small tree before it went away.

Tree, lights, decorations, greetings cards...all still up and giving us cheer My husband like to have christmas season for as long as possible. I tend to take it down bit by bit over the next week or so.

Daylight hours are getting noticeably longer already!

We didn't put one up.

We just took ours down 2 days ago. It only went up December 23rd due to some difficult times lately, and we didn't finish decorating until the 25th. Like someone else here, we had a rough time in our household, but to them and anyone else who needs it, please accept my wishes that 2026 brings ease, good health, and comfort!
Most years we get a real tree in mid-December and leave it up til mid-January or longer. We also have a village with lots of houses and other pieces, but it's rare we put them all out at once. It's still up.

Tree came down in early Jan.  Lights came down last weekend.  Wreath and Nativity scene are still up.  I really need to put the Nativity scene away so the coffee table stuff can go back on the coffee table haha.  But the wreath will stay up until spring comes to us, which may be on the early end this year.
