Family Time Weekend Recap
Happy Monday all! I hope y'all aren't melting in the heat because it is MISERABLE! Today we are going to apparently break records from the heat and be at 100 with heat index way higher. Yay. This will be me for the next week: source We went to my second cousin's graduation party. I purposely wanted to arrive about 45 minutes later than the start time. You don't want to get wrangled into setting up, babysitting, etc and that happened to people arriving earlier from what I heard so smart call on my part. Also everyone is always chit chatting and we knew if there would be food it would be about the time they'd be eating...right again. We already ate so we were good to go and then shocked the sh*t out my family when we walked in. Final goal: ✔ The grad immediately popped up and came over to hug us and be a good hostess which was so cute. She's always been a very sweet kid but also a little badass. She was the only wrest...
I put it up usually day after Thanksgiving. I take it down at last call for city pickup which is usually 3rd week of January
ReplyDeleteI do like having it up just after Thanksgiving and keeping it up until mid January. Send those pics in people!
ReplyDeleteI don't think we have a hard and fast rule that I can think of. Rarely do we get it up Thanksgiving weekend, but it has happened a few times in recent years. For the most part I think it's the first week or so of December (possibly today as a matter of fact). One time it wasn't until the week before Christmas and that was too short of a time. As for taking it down, anywhere from end of January to part of February since we just have lights on ours so it gets us through the doldrums of winter.
ReplyDeleteI prefer it up the weekend after Thanksgiving. I take the ornaments etc off about New Years. I often leave it up with just the lights until late January or early February. We have a 6’ super skinny tree that I usually put in the back living room window, on the window seat, so it takes up no floor space.
