this was my grandma's tradition which I followed BUT my twins were born Jan 5th and I wanted a distinct separation between the holidays and their birthday so I made sure the tree was gone by then. |

_At least_ Epiphany. But I've said it before: if I had my way, the tree stays til Candlemas. It's senseless to end things so abruptly with no alleviation from the misery of the remainder of winter. Medieval folks absolutely had the right idea celebrating Christmas until then.

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches
