to want to take the decorations down now?

[mumnotmachine]

The excitement of Christmas is over...pressies opened, rubbish cleared away, dinner eaten and washing up done.

The twinkling lights on the tree are just mocking me now.....
I want to take them down!!

YABU: this is only Day 1 of the Twelve Days of Christmas. Loads of festivities ahead!

Mine will prob be down tomorrow. As long as dc dont object.

I cant wait to clean up properly.

just do it

I can only bear cards to be up for 2 days then they all come down.

Ours all come down at 7 when the DCs are in bed. We build up the excitement from the 1st I December then it's all over in a day and up in the loft until next year

Mine will come down tomorrow

Im just waiting to watch Dr Who and then Christmas is over

Really?? Christmas day isnt even over yet.

I think thats really sad to want all the decs down before the day has even finished let alone the 12 days of Xmas only just starting.

When did you put the decs up?? Perhaps next year wait until a few days before Xmas so you may at least make it through boxing day.

I'm keen to get em down... But not that keen!!!

But then again , dd has been looking at the spring/summer clothes online..

They went up on 21st.....hate the things!

I want to put all the presents the DC have had away, take the tree down and vac properly and get back to normal. Can't though-it's Christmas.

I can't wait to get things back to normal either! Probably new years day or the weekend though as I'm so lazy.

Hi InNeed, I will probably wait til the weekend. Stuff everywhere at the moment, and i want the bin men to come.

Hi sparkling, did you have a Christmas?

Humbug, I hate taking the decks down and my DD loves the tree lights

All good here InNeed thanks. DC seem very pleased. Just didn't really feel very Christmassy this year for some reason.

Try drinking some more sparkling it could help

You are probably right InNeed, I may need to eat a bit more too, we didn't bother with Christmas dinner so we are having it tomorrow. I am sooo tired, can't believe it's only half five.

Christmas STARTS for me today! YABU. I will spend the next 10 days visiting friends and making merry.

YABSCROOGE

That's why then, no Christmas dinner ad no booze how are you going to feel Christmassy!

Can't take decorations down before New Year!!!

Must admit, have had headache for the last two evenings, think it is all the flashing lights! Like all the other decorations, they hide the cobwebs!

I thought I was bad but taking the decorations down on Christmas Day is

I have taken them down on Boxing Day before now, and any Christmas cards that fall down are going in the recycling.

I've done boxing day take downs to before. Probably to do with the fact I do tree on the first and the week before Christmas I string up the cards and put up the bunting and lights then 2 days later I'm itching to clear it put and tidy up.

I never put the cards up. They get opened, looked at and stuck straight in the recycle bin. Decs went up last weekend for DS's sake and will come down probably the day after tomorrow.

I take mine down before new year.

My tree has shed its needles like no tomorrow, the mess is awful!

But I do like the twinkling lights.
