But when should you take down a Christmas tree?\nThis is an ongoing debate that will attract answers of all kinds. Regardless of\npopular opinion, there is actually a very good reason behind taking down a Christmas\ntree at the right time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When you take your Christmas tree down mostly depends on\nyour culture and beliefs, as well as, how long the tree has already been up.\nContinue reading to learn when and why a Christmas tree should come down.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/www.treeservicefishers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Tree-Service-Indianapolis-IN-2-e1545493618462-1024x535.jpg\" alt=\"Fishers Tree Services 317-537-9770\" class=\"wp-image-764\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.treeservicefishers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Tree-Service-Indianapolis-IN-2-e1545493618462-1024x535.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.treeservicefishers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Tree-Service-Indianapolis-IN-2-e1545493618462-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.treeservicefishers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Tree-Service-Indianapolis-IN-2-e1545493618462-768x401.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.treeservicefishers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Tree-Service-Indianapolis-IN-2-e1545493618462.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Fishers Tree Services 317-537-9770<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Traditional Catholicism <\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional or orthodox Catholics generally do not take down\ntheir Christmas tree until January 7<sup>th<\/sup>, which is a special day known\nas Epiphany. In catholic history, Epiphany is the day that the Three Wise Men arrived\nto pay homage to the Child Jesus. This is the last day of the 12 days of\nChristmas, which begin on December 25<sup>th<\/sup>, or Christmas day. The period\nof time celebrated before December 25<sup>th<\/sup> are known as Advent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tree Display Times<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>If you choose to celebrate this tradition, it is important to\nunderstand that keeping a Christmas tree up too long is a safety hazard. You\nsee, most families these days put up their Christmas tree the day after\nThanksgiving, which extends the period of time a Christmas tree is displayed.\nIn the Catholic tradition mentioned above, the Christmas tree is usually set up\non Christmas Eve, which means the tree can safely remain displayed during the\n12 Days of Christmas. But when you put your tree up very early in the season,\nlike most others do today, it will be ready to take down sooner than Epiphany\nday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Here is Why:<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once a tree is cut down, it is no longer attached to the\nroot ball, which means it is on the verge of dying. Once a tree dies, it begins\nto lose all of its moisture. So after some time, a Christmas tree will be\nbrittle and dry, making it a prime fire hazard. This is why it is important to\ntake down your tree in a timely manner. You do not have to take it down right\nafter the holidays; but as soon as you notice brittle, greenish-gray needles on\nyour tree, it is ready to be tossed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Toss Out a Christmas Tree<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Most municipal garbage companies permit curbside Christmas\ntree disposal, which means you can simply bag up your tree and place it with\nyour regular trash, and it will be collected on trash pickup day. Other\nmunicipalities will obligate residents to drop off their old tree at a\ndesignated tree recycling center. Be sure to check with your county to see what\nthe rules and regulations are for Christmas tree disposal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>For Fishers Residents:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-medium-font-size has-medium-gray-color\">Here in Fishers, curbside Christmas tree collection is not permitted.
