The end of the 12 days of Christmas ends tomorrow. The beginning being Christmas eve, the end the 5th of January.

I decided to take the house lights down today whilst Gregg is at home to help, but I'll be taking down my tree and the indoor decs tomorrow.

I'm always sad to do it, it's like the absence of Christmas in the home leaves it looking so cold and empty.

I loved the tree this year, we always get a real tree because despite certain reasonings, its actually more ecological to have a real tree.
A False tree is made in a factory spewing out toxins from the factories whilst the real tree gives off oxygen.
The Real tree after being cut down will be replaced with another that will again give off oxygen whilst the fake tree will have another made giving off more fumes.
The real tree when Christmas is over can be used as compost or left out for the recycling like we did last year. The Fake tree when discarded will take thousands of years to decompose and gives nothing back.

I especially loved my angel this year, I bought her on e bay for just $2, she stands 19 inches high and she moves her arms and head, she has a pearl studded dress and a porcelain head and is quite lovely, I'll be sad to see her put away in the box for another year.

Oh well Goodbye Christmas tree, you graced our home beautifully and your scent of pine was delightful.

I would love to have a room that was just Christmas. I could leave my Christmas stuff up all year. Just close the door after I am done cleaning. I do leave my snowmen up all year. They are things I collect.

I had no idea about the fake trees, I agree with you on that one.

I have a different view however - The manufacturers need to take
responsibility with their chosen materials and better disposal of their products.

I believe that Germany are pioneers of this concept.

Charli.. I had real trees and fake trees.. I love my new fake one.. I bought a smaller one and it had yellow lights and red garland and red ornaments. I usually put on it different ornaments, homemade ones and others but wanted a change this year. I had an angel on top of my tree that had a white gown and she carried a candle and a book. her hands moved in and out and her head moved..Ky i agree with you i would love to have a room with all my christmas decorations, from snowglobes, which i love to every ornament that my daughter made when small and so forth..

Howzabout a real-ER tree? Keeping a live tree (dwarf, of some sort) year round would eliminate even the waste of cutting one down. Wouldn't work so well for some (like me) that don't have the space, or can't keep weeds alive for more than a week....but a possibility for some peeps!

I'll be sad to see her put away in the box for another year.
If the angel is as nice as it sounds...perhaps you could find somewhere to keep it on display year-round?
