Patti, we do the same thing you do. We won't put our tree up until after Dec. 12 which is ds1's birthday. We try to make sure to keep his birthday separate from Christmas. But we also leave it up until after New Years. Dh would leave it up till spring if he had his way. I once went to visit his family for spring break from college and their tree was still up! (they weren't lighting it anymore, though LOL) We go to a farm and cut our own tree. They give us a hay ride down to the trees, let us cut our own, give us the ride back and then there is free hot cocoa or cider. It is really a fun tradition.
