I’m already dreading the moment when it’s time to take down the Christmas tree. I think this is the year I’ve kept it up the longest, and yet it still doesn’t feel long enough.

Absolutely beautiful....and I've never seen neater bookshelves! Woah! Perfection! (and I won't show my own over-stuff and disheveled ones out of pure embarrassment).
We have a dark living room, so we leave some Christmas lights up all year long just to make things festive. That's what the top of bookcases are for! 🎄
my wife is Orthodox so we put it up late (Dec 20th~) and keep it up until Jan 6th, except when the council pick them up earlier. So there's always a reason to keep it up longer...

We always do a big cleaning (Ōsōji) for the New Year to start fresh, so it has to be removed beforehand.
