I like to wait until after New Years Day to take down our decorations. I don't try to take everything down at once, just like I don't put up all the decorations at once. Putting up and taking them down I do here and there over a few days.
I have decorations that are not specific to Christmas, so I am leaving those decorations up until it's time for Spring. To my winter decorations, I added Valentine's Day decorations. Last week I made a trip to the Dollar Store and found some cute stuff, I even found one gnome decoration for my porch. I bought some dollies and string with the idea that I could make a craft of some sort.
Sometimes when I go to the dollar store (which is now actually the $1.25 store), I buy items planning to get crafty, and well, it doesn't happen. This time, I did follow through--gold star for me!
I took red and white doilies glued them together then I found old pictures of which I had extra copies and I cut the pictures up, glues those to the doilies, and then used red & white string to hang them up, I was thinking about making a garland, but this was a little easier for me to get done.

I haven't been to the dollar store in so long. I used to get toys for the kid there, but now she has too many and doesn't need more. Have a great week!
I hae a three foot artifical tree with white lights that I'm keeping up till the end of the gloomy winter. Cheers the room up! I also am enjoying NetGalley ebooks. Happy reading week!
Well we put up our tree on Christmas Eve so we are leaving it up until later in January. We don't tend to be too quick about taking it down. My daughter does some other decorating but I've never been into doing that. I enjoy seeing it but I don't want to do it. I have other crafts I enjoy. Stay well!

I love the idea of taking the decorations off slowly.
Stay safe. Have a great week ahead!

I don't always take decorations down right away either. I like to leave the Christmas stuff up for a while.
I love your idea for displaying the photos! Our Christmas decorations are mostly down. I woke up this morning to find all the Christmas tree decorations removed--that was a nice surprise! Usually I end up doing it all by myself, but this time my husband must have done it after I went to bed. Now we just have to put the tree away. I've slowly been putting away the other decorations these past couple weeks and the tree was the last of it.
A Letter of Three Witches! I am really excited about that one. I am glad to hear you have enjoying your reading this week. I hope you have a great week and enjoy your reading!
