Oh I thought people leave them until new years. Beautiful place!

Taking down Christmas is always a New Year’s Day project for us! Something easy but productive to do while hungover.

[u/Wifealope → u/rayyychul]

We are usually the same. I’m just enjoying the last couple of days. The tree and lights always create such a calm and cozy ambiance.

It’s local tradition to leave exterior lights up until (usually) the second week of January, so we get to enjoy them for a little while longer.

[u/ValPrism → u/starrypeachberry]

Yes, traditionally they stay up until the Epiphany.

Lovely ✨ We always leave ours up throughout the 12 days of Christmas! 🎄

[u/Wifealope → u/Vintage_Soulfood64]

Are there an official twelve days? I’ve always wondered…

[u/Vintage_Soulfood64 → u/Wifealope]

Yes! Christmas Day is day 1 and runs its course from then to the Epiphany/Three Kings Day.

[u/Wifealope → u/Vintage_Soulfood64]

Oh wow, I never knew that. TIL, thank you ☺️

[u/Vintage_Soulfood64 → u/Wifealope]

You’re welcome ☺️

We keep ours up until the end of January! That gives us two months of coziness

I leave mine up well into the winter with no shame. It makes the house cozy and less depressing. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[u/ConsciousMuscle6558 → u/LookieLoooooo]

I am doing this for the first time this year. I usually take down on New Year’s Day but it went so fast this year I can’t bear to. I will take down at the end of January.

[u/Wifealope → u/ConsciousMuscle6558]

Yes, I like this plan. And who doesn’t need a little extra joy and fortification heading into 2025?

[u/Rock-Lobsta1]

I plan to keep mine up through January bc I always do. I hate when Xmas ends

[u/Due-Ad-3295]

Absolutely! I like to have the lights early (October) since the days start getting really dark then and then leave it like that until my birthday in February. Life is short! I need more sparkle!

Huge room. Do curtains spread enough to cover windows

[u/indien]

As you should!

[u/Talkalot1]
