Valentine's Tree

I took all of the decorations off of my Christmas tree at the beginning of the week.  I didn't take the tree down right away because the box has seen better days and I needed to find some new storage method.

Then school started back up and my husband left town for work and my oldest got sick and...you get the picture. I am now tempted to just leave it up and decorate it for Valentine's Day.  The kids could make some cute paper garlands and the lights are already white.  Add some glittery hearts and I think I could pull it off.

And then I saw this cute Valentine's tree at Then She Made:


So now I am even more tempted to just leave my Christmas tree up all year and decorate it for every holiday.  Well, at least the winter holidays!

I've heard of people leaving it up all year. You really could- there is a decoration for every month just about! :)

I've done this before and it was a lot of fun! I would suggest a smaller tree for this...it can get pricey even if you make your own ornaments. I'm in Mardi Gras mode now, but I did take down the tree this year. Just have the mantel and other areas decorated. Nancy

We used to keep our smaller (5 ft) artificial tree up all year and called it the Holiday Tree. I would decorate it each month with a different theme...the kids loved it! We just dont have the room anymore with all the "bigs' toys...I would still do it if I could...GO FOR IT!

I had a friend in college who did that. She even had some spooky Halloween lights. Granted, we were in college, but she totally pulled it off! :)
