I've taken my tree down !

[redtulip19]

I've taken all the decs and tree down cleaned top to bottom ! Feels sooo much better ! Anyone else or just me ? 🤫😂

I keep mine up until 12th night but then I don’t out it up until mid December.

My tree is decorationless and all the rest of the decs are boxed up and ready to go away. I just need to dismantle the tree now

Mine came down yesterday.

Had been up for about a week and was getting on my nerves.

Feel much calmer without the twinkling lights in the corner.

Had a good clean, feels all fresh.

DH will probably take ours down on the 3rd or 4th jan while I'm at work - he's off til the 7th.

It's still Christmas here, we've got lots of friends and family still to entertain and swap gifts with. Kids and DH all off until the 7th Jan so will continue until then.

I am very tempted to do this, however we spent both 25th and 26th with family so I have just tidied up for now, having a day of rest and letting DCs play with their presents and plan to get them all down tomorrow.

I took mine down this morning. We are off on holiday for week tomorrow and I didn't want to have to take it down when we get back.

So have we, it’s now all gone but I’m 36 weeks pregnant and now concerntrsting on that

You old miseries, it's not even New Year yet 🤣🎅🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

Same. And nope I dont put them up ridiculously early, I just live in a teeny tiny house.

Left ours up but going on holiday this pm. Older dh staying here so she can get the benefit of it!

I keep mine up until 12th night - I don't believe in cutting short a celebration!

OTOH, if you have someone with a late Dec/early Jan birthday I can see why you might want the Christmas stuff down, so they get their celebration (not just something tacked on to Xmas)

Normally our Christmas is still in full swing until about the 2nd of January, with people staying, our annual board game tournament going on, jigsaw being done, party games being played, food and drink flowing. The tree goes up around the 18th and comes down on 12th night. The living room is a tip for the duration and nobody cares, least of all me. If Christmas is over what do you do for the rest of the holidays?

Mine came down Boxing Day morning, a nice relief to have my living room back.

we’ve just taken ours down because my four year old has destroyed it! couldn’t be doing with seeing tinsel hanging off the tree and baubles all over the floor.

Ours stays up for as long as possible. It looks so pretty, it's the best bit of Xmas for me.

Boxing day morning, all packed away, house given a good clean and a big dinner after. Felt amazing sitting down to a clean living room last night x

Did mine last night. I look forward to Christmas and enjoy it but it's done now!

If Christmas is over what do you do for the rest of the holidays?

Putting a tree down doesn’t mean it’s over, we still do family things. We don’t power down till next December

wow none of you are superstitious then.

Miner's usually down by now but we've hardly been here so it's not annoying me as it usually does after the 25th. It'll come down tomorrow though.

I keep mine up for as long as possible. I love Christmas decorations so would not want to cut it short!

wow none of you are superstitious then.

No because I’m a grown up

I love that some posters think that taking the tree down sooner rather than later means you spend the rest of the holidays sitting in the dark, crying

Nah still have gifts under it for people and family we have yet to meet. I will take it down on New Year's Day probably.
