Whatever happened to the 12 days of Christmas? As a child our tree never went up until Christmas Eve and because my parents were of Russian descent, our tree didn't come down until Russian Christmas in January, in honor of my grandparents. I continued that tradition with my children, and still do to this day & I'm now 70! No one said you have to follow other people like a little sheep!<br />traderslostarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07895760314927250496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-74448937524577023202013-01-25T19:53:21.396-05:002013-01-25T19:53:21.396-05:00Love!!!Love!!!Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07929920771003768745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-20079164013920149902013-01-24T16:24:15.074-05:002013-01-24T16:24:15.074-05:00Maybe out of sync, but certainly more than worth w...Maybe out of sync, but certainly more than worth waiting for!

I can't believe that some people take it down on the 26th, but they're are probably the ones who put it up the day after Thanksgiving. We enjoy the tree and decorations in the house in the peace and quiet after the big day.

There's so much hustle and bustle before Christmas, I don't feel like I get to really enjoy the season until after the big day. The week following Christmas is my favorite time of the season!<br /><br />Oh! and I LOVE your elf!!! What a treasure!Starr Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01053440011702672296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-33764882258557105632013-01-21T06:31:46.216-05:002013-01-21T06:31:46.216-05:00You are so right about Christmas being over too so...You are so right about Christmas being over too soon. We once went to my MIL's on Christmas Day night and she had the tree down already. I was appalled but I guess that just told me what she thought about Christmas. <br /><br />When I grew up, we always had our tree up until January 8. When I got married, Terry tried to pull that Christmas night stuff and I set him straight, but I did compromise. Ours comes down on the first weekend after New Years Day. I love the lights. Heck, I'd love them in June!<br /><br />Sorry you had the flu. We're hoping to keep it away. Wind Chills at -15 today.
