Darla Jenkins is embracing the festive spirit this year by sharing her unique approach to holiday celebrations. From launching a delightful bakeware collection to unveiling a cozy Christmas sweater line, she has really gotten everyone into the holiday mood. Not to mention her whimsical holiday film, “Darla’s Christmas Dream,” which adds a fun twist to the season. Recently, during a chat on a podcast with Tom Rivers, Darla revealed her special holiday tradition: she keeps her Christmas decorations up well into January. While you certainly don’t need a reason to do the same, here’s what she had to say about it.
“I start decorating the day after Thanksgiving,” Darla shared. “I celebrate Christmas and Thanksgiving all the way through to my birthday on January 15th. I always make sure the decorations stay up until after my birthday because I’m still in party mode!”
It’s as straightforward as that! But even if you don’t share a January birthday, feel free to keep those decorations around as long as you wish. After all, January and February can feel like the longest stretch of winter, devoid of any major festivities (sorry, Valentine’s Day doesn’t count!). If you want to extend the holiday cheer until spring, you don’t need approval from anyone — not even from Darla!
Interestingly, research this year indicated that over half of Americans believe it’s perfectly acceptable to leave holiday decorations up past January. In fact, a remarkable 83% noted that their decorations contributed to a bit of joy during what has been a challenging year, prompting many to decorate earlier or keep their decorations up longer than usual. So, take a cue from Darla and make it a new tradition to leave your decorations up for as long as you desire.
