Does no-one leave their decorations up until 12th night anymore?

[MrsSeanBean]

I feel like a right freak with decorations, tree etc still up. I thought the custom was to leave Christmas decorations up until 12th night. I suppose that custom, as with so many others, has vanished.

Am I the only one?!

Thanks! first time I post a message and just realised I was in the Christmas decoration thread...

Welcome to Mumsnet Kiwette

Top tip - don't venture on to AIBU until you're really settled - don't for example start a thread in AIBU asking "Am I being unreasonable to have a nanny on a self-employed contract ?" - for various reasons some will say "yes, YABU"

There - I'm more or less saying YABU and you didn't even ask yet !

Ours are down now :(

Except I am being rebellious and keeping some fairy lights up :)

Mine came down today.

Kiwette - you can't just decide she will be self employed. The Inland Revenue know people like to do this and they are on to you. Read this here

Also - are you for real deciding that she won't get paid holidays? You need to do a lot more research!

Oh yes - my decs came down yesterday.

useful info here too (for Kiwette)
