The year is 2018 and why do people think they have to just be NORMAL with taking down the Christmas tree? I enjoy the lights and with the battery operated and LED lights why just keep the tree up for Christmas? If you have an artificial tree and you enjoy the lighting and glow of celebrating things why take the tree down? Why not add to your living space with a Valentine tree or a Shamrock tree, or Halloween Tree, Flag tree or Sea Shell Tree during the summer? I am seriously considering leaving the tree up all year long and just changing out the decorations to fit the occasion.
One can have a Back to school tree, a Spring tree, and why should all the celebration lights just be for the Christmas holidays? I don’t think it should. I think with Valentines coming up… Turn off all the blue and green lights and keep the white and red… Cut out little Hearts and flowers and the same thing can be done for St Patrick’s day with cut out shamrocks and green lights. May Day...flowers and oranges and lemons… One can have back to school with pencils, notes, little cut out books….just up to one’s imagination. One can have a Fourth of July tree with flags and little cut out fireworks. I think it is maybe a novel idea and I think I will do it this year instead of spending a day to take down the tree…..and ALL the decorations and dress the tree accordingly. What do you think?
Who said a Christmas tree had to just be for Christmas? Our tree can be a Celebration Tree and that works for me. Look folks, some of us need all the uplift we can get during these times and I looked at some of the images and thought… Yeah, that should lift one’s spirit if one enjoys ambiance of light.
Our daughter got a sewing machine for Christmas and what a great craft idea while she learns to sew.
Happy New Year !
