To ask when Christmas ends for you

[Tellmelies65]

I feel January the 1st is when Christmas ends for and when I take my decorations down.

I started this morning but have just been told off by DS that it should be tomorrow or Wednesday. No chance I'm back at work tomorrow!

I didn't know they keep the decorations up until Candlemas in Poland, but I had heard that if you don't take them down by Epiphany it's bad luck to then take them down before Candlemas.

Took ours down today. O/H back to work tomorrow, me on wendsday we are both working from home so wanted to get them out of the way and clean.

I think people tend to fall into either the 'Up sometime between 30th Nov and 5th December; down sometime between Boxing Day and 1st January' club or the 'Up after 5th Dec and down on 5th/6th January' club.

I'm a up last weekend of November - down on the 6th/7th of Jan. It's Christmas a full one tenth of the year in this house!
