The Christmas tree is down!

Just taken down the main living room tree, absolute workout getting it back in the box and as usual I found a couple of stars once I'd packed away the decorations.

Trying to get all the trees down today so I can deep clean the house before New Years.

Anyone else just want their space back and taking decorations down today?

Not today, boxing day is for lazing around eating biscuits and cheese and quality street. I'll probably do it at the weekend though, as I do like a good tidy before the New Year.

focuspocus · 26/12/2024 12:44

I'm fighting the urge! Only not doing because family will think somethings wrong.

ReginaaPhalangee · 26/12/2024 12:45

I've taken most of the things down but left the tree and the light up garland on the bannister, will get them over the next day or two

No. Today is only the second day of Christmas.

MrsSkylerWhite · 26/12/2024 12:46

Noooo! Boxing Day is the best.

Doggymummar · 26/12/2024 12:46

There are ten more days of Christmas, that would make me really sad. Plus not dressed yet.

AnotherDelphinium · 26/12/2024 12:47

Nope, not even had it up a week yet!

I'll be enjoying all my hard work decorating it and the house for the 12 days of Christmas 🎄

Purplecatshopaholic · 26/12/2024 12:47

Absolutely not. Today is about eating and relaxing!

Did you put your tree up in November. I think people who put decorations up early must be sick of them by now.

Madness. The two turtle doves are only on their way today. You've got ages till the drummers start drumming.

Will be illegal when I become a petty dictator of the world.

Abracadabra12345 · 26/12/2024 12:48

Oh ffs 😱😆

Ours will stay up until 12th Day of Christmas. It's beautiful, why rush to take it down? What a waste

persisted · 26/12/2024 12:48

No, it only went up on Sunday. It stays until new year.

AdviceAdvice123 · 26/12/2024 12:48

As a child I wanted it to all stay up for ever and ever. Now I’m desperate to get rid! Not today though, probably the weekend. I have taken down the paper chains though, can’t keep ducking under them for days…

Why would it make you sad? Everyone has different traditions - there is no right or wrong.

I know. Madness

Overthebow · 26/12/2024 12:48

No, Christmas trees are for Christmas, it’s the whole point. And it’s still Christmas!

TwinkleLights24 · 26/12/2024 12:48

No. The ones on social media taking theirs down are the same ones that had theirs up November 1st.

Madness to me it’s still very much Christmas for us.

henlake7 · 26/12/2024 12:49

Nope, mine goes up on the 1st and it all comes down before the 1st as well.
I like to get my full months worth out of christmas.

Perplexed20 · 26/12/2024 12:49

I don't get it. Christmas has just started.

I'll vote for you!

Deebee90 · 26/12/2024 12:49

My tree will be down the day before new years. Plan to start the year afresh like normal. I can’t wait.

Hurdlin · 26/12/2024 12:50

No way, Christmas is only just starting!

Did you put your tree up really early go want rid of it by Boxing Day? So weird.

KindleAndCake · 26/12/2024 12:51

Why is it down when it's still Christmas?

OatFlatWhiteForMePlease · 26/12/2024 12:52

Nope, we are enjoying the festivities. Tree will be down on the 3rd or 4th before school goes back on the 6th.

RaininSummer · 26/12/2024 12:52

Hell no. It's only been up for 5 minutes. Ok 14 days but not long enough to justify all the work.
