Call me a scrooge, but.......
As much as I love decorating for Christmas, listening to Christmas music, looking at the lights and baking up a storm, when it's over, baby it's over! On December 26th, I'm ready to take down the tree, and toss it to the curb! I'm ready to rid my house of stray needles, and have my house back to normal... And -- anything that's left up after New Years is well..... enough to drive me crazy! Imagine how insane I was when the tree was still up today! LOL.
We *finally* got around to taking down the tree tonight, and it was the most tedious, painful project... The tree was incredibly dry, and with each ornament we removed, about a million needles came with it. The trail from the tree stand to the front door was amazing --- and crunchy! LOL!
So the tree is down, the lights are put away, the remainder of the decorations are removed and my house is back to normal. (Almost)! Even though my house looks BARE, I'm glad it's all put away for next year..... If only my freezer still wasn't overflowing with cookies!

Ok. First of all, you and I are so alike in so many ways. This is another one. I LOVE real trees at Christmas time. Two, why would you want to take it down on December 26th? I leave mine up until the 3rd week of January. January is so blah blah blah and for me, the Christmas Tree is part of the New Years experience. Three, I have a solution for you that I dreamt (?) of all by myself for the tree that dries out. My tree doesn't dry out and few needles follow me to the door. My solution? I'll email it to you today complete with pictures. It not only solves the dried tree problem, but it protects your carpet or floor, adds room for presents, and adds a beautiful look to the tree. Love ya!
