i hate being the last one to throw out the tree or bring down the lights.
it makes you look either lazy or crazy.

so when do you do it?

1/5/2010 3:03:31 PM

I take down the Festivus pole right at on New Year's Day. I'll wipe it down with terryclotch and then store it in the attic until next year.

1/5/2010 3:04:25 PM

Christmas day

1/5/2010 3:04:35 PM

valentines day

1/5/2010 3:05:23 PM

1/5/2010 3:05:27 PM

November. Just in time to buy a new one.

1/5/2010 3:05:35 PM

Anybody else set their tree on fire every year?

It's fucking awesome.

1/5/2010 3:05:47 PM

I haven't taken mine down yet because I haven't had time. I am going to try to take the ornaments off tonight. Not sure when I'll finish deconstructing it though.

1/5/2010 3:06:55 PM

i didnt see any of my neighbors throw theirs out yet, so i'll hang on to it cause im laaaazy

1/5/2010 3:07:00 PM

Usually take it down the 2nd weekend of January, or later if I'm lazy. But mine's an artificial tree so it's just disassembly, not disposal.

1/5/2010 3:35:47 PM

The first saturday after new years day for us.

1/5/2010 3:38:22 PM

Mine's still up and will probably be up for at least another week . . . i need to figure out what to do with it
Chuck it off the balcony? I have a straight shot to the pool which still has water in it for some reason

1/5/2010 3:43:25 PM

last weekend

1/5/2010 3:43:37 PM

when it's dry enough to burn down your house

accidentally, for insurance purposes

1/5/2010 3:44:27 PM

they are so much more fun to put up than to take down, that's for sure

1/5/2010 3:46:30 PM

^for real, i hate taking off the ornaments, then dragging the tree outside without leaving a massive trail of pine needles

1/5/2010 3:50:35 PM

never, keep it up year round. put hearts on it for valentines day... pumpkins for halloween...

1/5/2010 3:57:00 PM

just took it down

though using the Dyson to vacuum up all the needles that fell off in the process was REALLY awesome

Maybe I'm just "crazy" enough to believe in this "Christ-mass" thing and want to keep the tree and creche up until after Epiphany. 20+C+M+B+10.

1/5/2010 4:09:19 PM

I just got done taking mine down...I took it outside and burned it. I'm not gonna lie, I was a little worried about somebody calling 911, that fucker BURNED and I live in Trailwood.

When I have to sift through the ashes and rubble of my house to find it.

1/5/2010 4:53:22 PM

i think the xmas lights at my apt are staying up. they're on the walls of the living room and they're blue. my mom would probably say they're tacky but she keeps the xmas tree until close to freaking Valentines Day so she has no room to talk.

1/5/2010 4:58:16 PM

GreatGazoo are you in some crazy cult

there is no christmas tree in the bible

1/5/2010 4:58:18 PM

^ on point

1/5/2010 4:59:09 PM

we dont' burn ours...we dump it in the lake for the fish

1/5/2010 4:59:11 PM

jan. 5th is the last day of christmas

1/5/2010 5:01:13 PM

Burning a tree that has dried out for months = excellent time

1/5/2010 5:01:25 PM

keep that pimp hand strong, BlackDog

Frosh,

I can only reply by asserting that should you ascribe to such an extent of biblical positivism, it is you who are inveigled by a cult.

Well, I suppose I could have replied: "Consider yourself officially called out, you faggot!"

hehehehe

There should be a giant tree-burning party.

Ours is still up but it's plastic so I guess it doesn't matter.
