Lovely image. What a handsome door.

Actually mine never go up, so... I guess I have a built in labour saving. I do like the metaphor here, though.

I like the symbolism here...all my decorations were down on the 1st of January

Beautiful tree and such nice warm lighting. "V"
In Germany, the decorations come down on Three Kings Day, January 6. In California, they come down when people feel like it.

I like it when the decorations go up and I also like it when they get put away again :-)

Very strong symbolism with a well exposed lovely subject. V

That tree looks satisfyingly old-fashioned and beautiful. I also wait until the 12th day to take things down, but always wishing Christmas could last longer! V

Gorgeous tree Margaret….some people here have their decorations and tree up till March…For me it’s still 12th day…BV

Looks lovely, and such a pity to see it go. I usually take our tree down on New Year's Day but this year decided to wait until this weekend.

I agree with the days...it's a pity that it can't last longer.
