Makes perfect sense to me.
I leave ours up at least until mid January. usually until end of Jan. It is a lot of work putting it up so why take it down so soon. Enjoy it. I find it very relaxing and soothing to have the tree lights on in evening. Lylamarie

it is a fresh balsam: didn't go up until christmas eve, and it's still not dropping needles. i love the scent--but since 12th night has come and gone, i'll have to take it down this weekend. am going to save needles to make a balsam pillow from. this will be our last "real" tree--hubby bought a "toilet brush tree" on sale at fleet farm after christmas, this year, so that balsam pillow will be a nice remembrance.

I'm leaving mine up all year!! I have a pencil style fake tree with lights in a pot with some beautiful Angel Ornaments from Hallmark that I strung crystals on that are used in chandeliers as garland. Right now I have jeweled snowflakes that I made on the tree with the Angels. I like the idea of hearts for Valentines and may decorate with each Holiday. Some people have Fake Fica Trees in their house, I'm going to have an Evergreen tree in my living room from now on. I like the lights, as it gives the room ambiance and I don't have to have any other light on when watching TV. So, that's what I'm doing with my tree. As to the other Christmas decos, they have been put away except for the Snowmen!!

Never put one up, really missed it, but it didn't seem worth it, without the boys here to enjoy it with. I can remember they would turn it on the first thing they got up, and I would turn it off when they went to bed. I remember the first year my youngest son went to college, when he came home for the break he brought a tree with him, it was so sweet, and beautiful. Husband would rather not have the disruption.
