When is it too late to still have Holiday decorations up?

Did you speak a silent spell (or blessing) on my wreath when you were here in March? :laugh: ;)

Oh sweetie I am so sorry you feel that way...its terrible to be so depressed about something
when others are so giddy...I feel rather like that this year, not because I dont like Christmas, but because
I dont have the strength to put it all up like I used to.. oh well life goes on.

I said a blessing, of course! For health, happiness, good wishes and coming to visit ME sometime...and look, the last part is coming true, along with everything else!

I am one to talk about the Dead Wreath Society...
A few years ago, we got new storm doors...the kind that have one large pane of glass and you can switch it out to be a screen in the summer. I should also point out we have 3 "front" doors on our house. In this picture you can see two of the three doors:
Anyway, we bought 3 wreaths, as usual. My husband hung them on the front door, also as usual, but this time they were behind the glass (which we never had before). Of course, it was like an oven and the wreaths instantly baked and turned brown...within a matter of days. I was so annoyed, we just left them up. So we had dead brown wreaths for the entire month of December.

You all leave decorations up at least through Epiphany? Man, I'm relieved and impressed with all your good taste. (Not that I should be surprised!)
I freaking hate it when folks throw their tree out by the roadside on the 26th. (Aligning their Christmas with the shopping calendar instead of the liturgical one.) Tacky as hell!
