That’s good, I always tell him the best people have thier birthday on the 5th January. My grandad and cousin aswell as 3 friends have the same birthday.
He’s gonna be 11 but loves the lights still

"He’s gonna be 11 but loves the lights still"

Our DS is going to be 12. And ditto :-)

All packed away in boxes! Now to get fight with DS2 to carry them all upstairs!

My last night with my lovely tree 🌲 Going to clean right through tomorrow when my son goes back and before I return to work 😞
Haven't had the best Christmas but the tree was kind of comforting x

New year's eve for me, don't like taking the old into the new, left some faery lights up around the mirror though x

It’s our tree’s last night too

Our tree comes down tonight after dinner.
Heading over to my mum’s tomorrow to take down her decorations and stop her climbing ladders.

About 4 days ago, thank God. I hate Christmas.

I've taken mine down today.. it went up on the 1st December and was still drinking a pint of water a day so has stayed very fresh and green. House looks bigger but not as cosy.

Decorations down tomorrow before I go to bed.I have finished the Bailey's and eaten the toblerone.The only remnants is Christmas cake but that normally takes a while to eat.Somethings shouldnt be rushed.

Just took everything down. Feeling sad now. Had a good clean though and the room does look bigger.

I'm waiting until Weds...its my day off, so then I can do it quickly while the kids are at school and ds won't freak out all over the place...and we can enjoy them for a few more days.

We are taking ours down tomorrow.

I know it's 12th night tomorrow & I said I'd do it then, but I've just finished taking them all down today. Will do a big clean up in the morning after DH & DS have put them in the attic, then we're back to normal again.

Today. 1st day of Christmas was Christmas Day. 12th day of Christmas is today, so down they come before 12th night.

We've been out all day so it's Scruffy Sunday and taking the decorations down tomorrow for us. We'll have a couple of days of "doesn't it all look bare" before we appreciate getting the space back.

Then I'll decide that everywhere looks grubby and we need to redecorate.

So is today the 12th night or tomorrow? Always thought it was the 5th, but a lot of posters are saying the 6th.

Tomorrow for us, at the earliest 🎄

Just spent the morning putting them away and cleaning through downstairs. Just need to put back photos etc and I am done ✅ Whilst it looks nice and clean it is a bit bare so I have lit 🔥 some candles 🕯

Who else was feeling smug that they'd put everything away only to now be finding bits and bobs you overlooked?

(Hoping it's not just me!)

I never feel smug about that.

And I always leave the ladders at the top of the stairs for a couple of days after putting the christmas boxes in he loft.

Because there is a 100% chance that something has been overlooked.

Yesterday. It was such a horrible grey cold day yesterday that taking them down made me feel quite miserable.

Feeling smug that ours are still up.

(Not so smug that the task is still ahead and I've just found a pine needle in my cuppa!)

Why smug?

Just done it and hoovered up the (fake) needles. For a fake tree, it certainly sheds a lot!
