Too many questions and I don't know the answersGeorge Jones said:When is the first day of Christmas? When is the twelfth day of Christmas? When is Christmastide?

OmCheeto said:Yes.
I have an Avocado tree that I started from seed about 20 years ago, but I live in a freeze zone, so it's been my living room guest from Nov 1 until about the end of March since birth. Hence, it's been my Christmas tree for most of those years.
I'll probably take the lights down when I boot it out this spring.
lisab said:Wow! Do you get fruit? Specifically, avocados?
For years, I had a grapefruit tree that I started from a seed. It was beautiful with lovely smooth leaves. Never got a blossom, nor a single chance for fruit.OmCheeto said:No...
Nor does my mini-me 20 year old lemon of an auxiliary christmas tree.

There is no specific belief or tradition that says it is bad luck to keep your Christmas tree up after the holidays. However, some people may consider it bad luck or a sign of laziness.
Traditionally, the latest date to take down your Christmas tree is January 6th, also known as the Feast of the Epiphany or Three Kings Day. However, many people choose to take down their tree anytime between December 26th and January 6th.
As long as your Christmas tree is properly watered and maintained, it should not pose a significant fire hazard. However, it is always recommended to follow the manufacturer's instructions and dispose of the tree after a certain amount of time.
There are several options for disposing of your Christmas tree. You can recycle it by taking it to a designated recycling center, turn it into mulch for your garden, or donate it to a local charity or organization that will make use of it.
Keeping your Christmas tree up year-round may not be the most environmentally friendly option. Most Christmas trees are cut down specifically for the holiday season, and keeping it up for an extended period of time can contribute to deforestation. It is best to recycle or repurpose your tree after the holidays.
