Next year he will be a new person! Keep it up as long as you like. The year I was pregnant with my first I kept it up until after he was born February 15th! I give you my permission !! Stay childlike! Peace Patty

The first time my mom met them was over Easter weekend, and the Christmas tree was still up (artificial).

Because Grandma got sick of having a Christmas tree up for a third of the year, Grandpa eventually came up with the perfect solution. They would pack away all of the ornaments but leave the lights and tinsel on. Grandpa then moved the tree to the basement, and he could enjoy it whenever he wished without annoying the rest of the family. I remember sitting in the basement on many fall afternoons with Grandpa in his rocking chair and the lights lit on the tree.

Keep that tree up as long as you want. That would be my Rule That Doesn’t Exist: The Christmas tree does not have to come down after Christmas, as long as you have a Christmas spirit.
