Un-Trimming the Tree

The girl opening her stocking - brother watching, Christmas tree shoe-horned into the corner.

I must admit that, un-trimming the Christmas tree can bring almost as much joy as trimming it!

After having the cheerful "clutter" of Christmas overtaking our small house for about a month - I'm always ready to get things un-cluttered, un-trimmed, packed up and hauled to the attic.

It's also easier to get back into a normal routine of school and life in general, when "Christmas" is packed back up. That being said - we are still on "homeschool vacation" (kind of a misnomer) and will probably be to some degree until next Monday.

So when do you take down your Christmas tree? Do you wait until the New Year? Wait until Ukrainian Christmas? Wait until Boxing Day?
