While customs vary in the Christian and pagan households I've been in, the general sense is that the Christmas/Yule tree is typically considered
-seasonal through New Years. -potentially acceptable whether through laziness or some other made up winter observance until about the 2nd weekend in January -*cough* the holiday is over *cough* after January 15 -Hello! Groundhogs Day! Don't see any shadow fearing rodents in that tree. -It's Valentine's Day, get rid of the damn tree already.
- Post-Easter? WTF!
And that's all assuming that the entire household was behind the idea of celebrating one or both of those holidays in the first place.

1) A mortgage payment that's 28% of my income and puts me in a nice townhouse.
2) A more conservative mortgage payment which puts me in a small condo.
I don't know.
