You'll have it up in less than 300 days! Better to take it down a week too early than a week too late (at least that's how I've felt over the years...the longer I wait the less I want to take it down)!I'm with you @Edge612 . I mentioned it over in The Bers thread. Our tree is coming down too, Holly and I woke up this morning and was in agreement over it after getting the snow last night. The perfect "last day" for the Christmas tree because we are having soup tonight and it will just be nice and cozy.
Not looking forward to how I might feel tomorrow once the tree is down. This baby has lit the way since November 1st! That's a whopping 71 days of coming home and seeing the tree with its happy warm glow!
Have a great day!
As we were packing up the Christmas stuff we found some Fall decorations we purchased that needed to go up in the attic. Just seeing those made me long for this Fall and Thanksgiving. It can't come quickly enough.

You totally got this, my friend!You know something friend, I always say every year that I think I wish for Fall / Halloween / Christmas more than I do the previous year, but I think 2025 might be the most anticipation / yearning that I've ever had.
The arrival of things like Leon Day, Fall Pre-Season, and The Bers this year mean so much more to me. It's not just the arrival of the best time of the year again, but it also puts another stamp on me overcoming trials and tribulations, and hopefully overcoming what has been the hardest fight / opponent of my life. When I went through our hospital stay in 2022, those were the scariest days of my life. I had never been through anything like that. When we were discharged 5 days later, I hoped that I would never go through it again but I knew somewhere deep down that I would.
There's light at the end of the tunnel this time. And it's NOT an approaching train. In around 138 days, my fight is going to be over. And for the last time. And that is going to make the holidays so much brighter, it's going to make me more appreciative and thankful than ever before. That's what I'm looking forward to.
Slow and Steady!So true, Edge. Very few people are thinking about the holiday season right now, except for us here on MMC. Years ago I used to think I was the only one. I’m so glad I’m not alone in my thoughts anymore.
And while 45 weeks is still a long time, it’s nice to see steady progress is being made.
I always err on the side of early too when it comes to taking down my Christmas decorations. One year I thought keeping them up longer would ward off the PCBs but I waited too long and I started to dread it and that made me even sadder.DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 318
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 292
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 231
Happy January Teens! Today folks we move along and see that we have 318 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 292 days left until November and 231 days to go until The Bers. We move along in our Winter Wonderland with another cold week expected here in January. But kind of a dry week also expected. Not much if any rain or snow. Our next milestone will be in 10 days when we reach Tom Turkey Day #2. It’s going to be big my friends. Gobble Gobble. It’s Monday so let’s talk about our Monday topic which is our Weekly Countdown till Thanksgiving Week. It stands at 45 weeks friends. Halfway from 50 to 40 already huh? Turkey friends I hope you had a great weekend as I did. I took down my tree and decorations. It was the right time. I’d rather take it down a week earlier than a week later. That’s what I’ve learned for me the last several years. The longer I leave it up the harder it is for me to take it down. Turkey friends the best to you on this Monday. Feel blessed to be alive and on such a great site as MMC is. And with all friends here in January when nobody else in the world is thinking about the holiday season but we are J. But we are also enjoying our winter time and comfort/hibernation times when we have it as well. Gobble Gobble. Have a great January Teens!
