Anyone taken Christmas decorations down yet ?

[busymummy3]

We always take ours down on Twelfth night (one of the last in our street ) but I have noticed that this year even those who have them down day after Boxing Day have still got them up !
Dread taking them down- House always looks so bare

Mine came down today. My living room looks lovely now I've rearranged everything.

I know in a way I am sort of looking forward to it as we had a new lounge/stair/landing carpet fitted second week of December - carpet fitter left and tree went up !!! so will be nice to see the carpet with the lounge looking "normal" !

I took tree down.. it was blocking light out. but still have cards and lights over mantelpiece with little bits on fireplace. i like the lights, I may well keep them up all year ;)

Ours come down on NYD.
We have a NYE family 10 Pin Bowling contest. Then a meal out (either pub or MacDonalds depending on what the DC want)
Then an evening buffet and fireworks.

NYD is a leisuerly breakfast, take the decorations down then nice dinner.

DH back at work on Wednesday.
And the bins go out so I can clear out loads of rubbish.

Came down yesterday. I like the house back to normal going into new year. Don't really have time beyond today so down they came.

Mine are up until 12th night :) I like the house with them in :)

I took mine down the day after boxing day. My hearts not in it this year.

Mine go up Christmas eve and come down boxing day.

I took the tree and decorations down yesterday but I still have the cards up!

Ours came down Boxing Day thanks to a toddler who kept pulling at it!

Up till Twelfth Night here too. Brought up a Catholic (long ago lapsed) but the traditions die hard. Although, thinking about it, I completely forgot to put the crib up this year..... Have been really ill so perhaps that will absolve me a bit

Up until 12th Night here too...and we're atheists . We usually put the tree up on the first Sunday of Advent but were a week late this year so it hardly feels as if it's been up any time at all and only another few days before it has to come down..

Mind you our newest pusscat has been using it for climbing practice and has virtually annihilated it so maybe it will be good to retire it for the year ;-)

Mine came down on the 28th. It was good to get things back to normal.

Ours will be down Thursday of Friday. Getting Dh to do it when I go to visit my mum with dc.

Ours came down Boxing Day as we were going to visit my family the next day until the 5th so didn't want them up when we got back!

Took mine down yesterday as had a cleaning blitz of the house so that it would be all sparkly clean today so it made sense It does feel nice for it all to be packed away

DW took the Christmas cards down today....think she's itching to feel productive. It does rather seem as if the whole world grinds to a halt over Christmas/New Year....

Our tree came down today but only because it really dried out this time, first time we've had a problem. We knew it was time when last night the angel fell off taking with it several baubles and a deer. When a Christmas tree starts shedding ornaments of its own accord you know it's had enough.

All down and our new carpet looks beautiful !

Took everything down this evening. I LOVE Christmas but they've been up for almost a month, life still isn't back to normal thanks to visiting in-laws and I'm just fed up of looking at them.

We've been away and when we got back, they looked wrong.

Took them down today - it looks so nice and spacious.

Poor tree is already chopped up and in wood basket.

Ours came down today. I love having them up, but the room was starting to feel cluttered and untidy. The tree was in the window too, so I was desperate to let some daylight in.

Being thick, is Twelfth Night tomorrow?

Mine came down on Wednesday night I get them up earlyish first weekend in December and then I like them down on New years day as a rule.

Fresh clean house for the new year.
