Originally posted by RookRAKThat depends on how long the tree keeps its needles. Once it loses lots of needles, it's thrown out. Sometimes it was still there for my mother's birthday (16th January), but it often has to go earlier. It's always still there for New Year's Eve, and we light the candles again that evening.
How long do you leave it decorated?
Originally posted by tmetzlerIn one of the flats I had as a student, I had a small conifer on my balcony. It had some Christmas decoration when I moved in (although it wasn't any time close to Christmas), and I left it there. I added some Easter eggs at Easter, which also stayed there.
I cheated, decided decorating the palm tree in our courtyard was good enough.
Originally posted by NordlysWhen I was a student, we used to buy a Christmas tree upon returning from Thanksgiving break, then decorate it in our dorm room. It always made the room crowded, but festive.

The odd part was taking the tree down before Christmas break.

... so it will be presentable for holiday visitors.
I seem to be lacking discipline however. I finish a little task, then waste time online, then another little task, more wasted time. At this rate I will never be done.
I need motivation. Or some help.
Is anyone else a procrastinator like me?
