Christmas and New Years are both history again after all the
feverish making and planning and mailing. It did keep us going before
Christmas, but it was fun and we surely made several somethings out of quite a
lot of nothings. I decorated the house with lots of boughs and the mistletoe from
the aunts in Drain, and your holly added so much to the window curtains. We
still have our decorations and Christmas tree and I think I won’t take them
down for a few more days. – Shirley Dobson
I find it a little depressing to put
away the holiday decorations, so I say with Aunt Shirley, “I think I won’t take
them down for a few more days.” In fact, I like to think of the holiday cheer
as lighting the way into the dark months of the new year. We should have hope for
peace and prosperity in the future, but for our family and the world at large, these
are not peaceful times. KW

I agree with leaving Christmas things out. I usually have them until close to February. By then the days are a little longer and it's time to put up Valentine's things. Since our tree is real, it will come down sometime in the next week, which is always a bit of a bummer. Daniel will be here overnight Sunday night so maybe Monday.
The day is dark and dreary with ongoing rain, so the bright lights of the tree are welcome. I'll take it down when I can get to the shed without getting wet. The most Christmassy of the holiday houses stay out until spring -- sometimes until Halloween -- LOL.
I took down the colored lights in the yard, but left the white lights, which I plan to keep up until February. The tree and other decorations will come down this weekend. I'm ready.
