Taking down the tree

[doctoranda]

Today we're taking down our tree and all the decorations. I am actually sad about it... I did buy some flower bulbs in pots for indoors. It'll be so bare though.

I did it this morning too,I always hate the day of taking down the tree: (

I tossed ours out the third story window on the 27th.

It. was. awesome.

Chucking it out the window does sound like loads of fun.Did your neighbors mind?
Our neighbor was chucking blocks of broken up concrete of the roof two days ago...

We need to do ours today. I hate this time of the year when all the pretty stuff goes away.

We threw our tree in Zurich out the 3rd story window too. Much easier then hauling it down 3 stories and getting needles everywhere.

This would be me if we lived on the 3rd floor. I am usually really excited for the decorations and tree to go up, but by the time Christmas is over, I'm just as ready for them to come down. Tree pick-up in my town is always the Saturday after Epiphany, though, so this year it's really late on the 12th. Until then, everything's staying up.

We just sent ours out to the chipper today. Was happy to take it down.

Great Christmas but I am now in when will I have this freak'n baby mode. Was worried it would arrive this weekend and we would miss the two days when the chipper was coming by. We would totally be the people with the needleless Christmas tree in our living room in March.

We took ours down a few days after xmas - after having it up for a month, I was ready!! It does look quite empty in our living room now though

DH wanted to take it down today. I'm up for leaving it up until February. We always left it up until the first snow day after Christmas.

Our tree came down last Wednesday. Mainly because we were moving house and it was in the way. DH wanted to take it down on the 31st and I wouldn't let him - I wasn't staying in that night and not have a tree to glance at...

We took everything down yesterday. It suddenly feels empty here, but we'll be used to that again in 2 days. I always try not to give in to the urge of buying plants/other things to fill the void the tree left, but it's hard

The SO wanted to take it down yesterday but I talked him into having it up a little longer. I like to leave it up through the Orthodox Christmas Day even though I am not Orthodox. It'll come down in the next day or two. :-(

We took ours down this weekend as well. I wanted to leave up the decorations for a few more weeks but DH insisted

I got stressed tonight and took it down. Now we have a bit more space.
