When to Take Down Xmas Tree
Let’s be honest: nobody is peeking into your living room to check the date. If your tree has turned into a needle grenade, get it out. Your vacuum cleaner is begging you for mercy.
I’m talking about the moment you walk by and a shower of brown pine dust lands on your head. That’s nature’s way of saying, “I’m done, bud. Throw me out.”
Also, if the cat has started using it as a scratching post—or worse, a litter box—that’s a hard, fast sign. No amount of tinsel can fix that situation.
