AIBU to polish my baubles ?

[Fidgety31]

Before you pack your tree and decorations away - do you polish/wipe them all down ?

I do this every year but it is time consuming . My tree has only been up for three weeks . It’s real so gets thrown out but the decorations all get kept . And when I did have a fake tree I would hoover it before putting it away .

AIBU - to polish them all?

If you're quite happy doing that, then keep doing it. If you're resenting the time it took you then stop.
Personally I resent the time it takes to dust the house so I certainly won't be dusting baubles, tinsel or fairy lights.

I actually washed the tree baubles in soapy water when we took the tree down last year...

... but that's because we didn't take it down until August!😳

People hoover Christmas trees???? Really? Do men do this too, or is it just women creating extra work for themselves?

Me neither.

Do you think men think about things like this?

Please tell us more about it!
Why you kept it up for so long? And why you took it down ? Is it to polish the baubles?

😂😂😂😂😂

Mine are very fragile glass dating anywhere between 35 and 55 years old. I am scared to just hang them let alone polish them😶

Never . And I never will . Ever . Some of mine are over 30 years old and I still haven't noticed them being dirty . It's taken me 8 hours today on my only day until next Wednesday to get them all down and away . I don't have enough life left to clean them .

Life is too short for bauble polishing.

My OCD mother and sister in law do this. They both live in sterile houses. They don't work and only speak of cleaning, tidying and making things 'nice'. Life is too short x
