Who’s taking their Christmas tree down today?

[wannanamechange]

Or is it too soon?

We’ll probably take our’s down at the wkend

Not tonight I don't think only because I can't be bothered my mum died on 23rd December 2 days ago I can't be bothered to even switch them on.
They will be down as soon as I can be bothered.

Even as kids Boxing Day was still very much part of the festivities. We’d have felt sad if the tree was down by Boxing Day morning.

I'm so edgy I took mine down first thing this morning.

Way too soon to take it down!!!

We take ours down in the evening on New Year's Eve. That way we get another week of lovely twinkliness after Christmas day itself, but go into the new year with a lovely fresh clean house 😊

It's been up since mid-November. I'm not bored of it at all, I just love waking up New Years Day with the house all back to normal 😊

I realise some people don’t want the decorations up after Christmas - I like to leave mine up until Twelfth Night, but each to their own - but why make extra work on Christmas Day?

So sorry for your loss

How ridiculous 🙄 Would you take your birthday cards down before it had even ended?

I normally take ours down on the morning of 27th December while DH is at work because I like the idea that Christmas is over and his birthday can start. However this year he will not be working.

We do the 12 days, we aren't devout Christians, but is how we always did it.

I also can't cope with school terms and Christmas hype so for me it makes sense to be as low key as possible until term ends.

Then enjoy the two week break, before decorations coming down signifies the new term.

I said on here earlier in the year there will be some poster desperate to be the first on mumsnet to take their tree down on Christmas Day and here we are, it’s like the competitive who keeps their windows open for longer threads, or who washes their towels most frequently threads, why is so much on here so ridiculously competitive about the most innocuous things, it’s ridiculous.

I am so sorry. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time x

Lol...definitely not us. It stays until like 6th of January.

No! I'll take it down on either New Year's Eve or New Year's Day.

I don't put it up until a week or so before Christmas.

It’s the ridiculous “influencer” mentality, can never enjoy the moment, always looking for the next thing and wishing the year away.

My daughter is.. because it's Grandaughters birthday tomorrow.. so birthday decorations will be going up.
But mine is staying up until 2nd January after New Year.. I'm having surgery so won't beable to take down any later.

Why? Today is only the first day of twelve.
Maybe some people might learn that it is Advent for most of December, and not put their trees up in November.

These sound beautiful! Picture please!

Its both in my country. Christmas starts as early as late November, with numerous Pikku Joulu (Little Christmas) parties to go to and doesn't end until the 6th of Jan, which is a public holiday (schools never start back until the 7th at the earliest). The 6th of Jan ending being a religious tradition, and the Christmas parties being a rather more raucous secular tradition.

Madness in my opinion

I think the OP just wanted to be the first to start the thread.

It's normally a Boxing Day thread.

No way! Ours will stay up until the 2nd January 🎄

Blinking heck, mine’s only been up two days! If I disliked Christmas that much I wouldn’t bother having one.

I usually take it down just before we go back to work but this year it’s coming down on Boxing Day as it’s a real one and pretty much dead. I think we put it up a bit earlier than normal this year.
