Mine are half gone, just got to tackle the indoor tree and find somewhere which will recycle my outdoor tree!

Themildmanneredjanitor - Epiphany is the celebration of the visit of the 3 wise men. I said no arguments! We did this last year!

the trick is to wait until the 22nd or so and then you still love them on 6th Jan. That's what I did.

Crotchety · 05/01/2007 20:29

Took ours down today - kids came home from school and didn't even notice..Why do I bother??

Cappuccino · 05/01/2007 20:31

today I bought a lovely new angel (ours is scrappy crap) in the decorations sale at the Nice Shop

so sad I have to put it away for a year

hotandbothered · 05/01/2007 20:33

OED said tonight was 12th night so we (sadly-we loved our tree this year) have taken it all down. Dd was very bemused...

DumbledoresGirl · 05/01/2007 20:34

WewishyuouamerryXmas etc, so you agree with me then!

Mine all came down on the evening of Jan 1st, before DH went back to work. The tree was starting to drop badly when we got home from weekend away, and I just wanted it gone! My house felt so empty though.

bewilderbeast · 05/01/2007 20:56

Took mine down on new years day, tree was dying and I was sick to the back teeth of them by then. Really I only like them to be up for a week/10 days and no more - and I love christmas

Kittypickle · 05/01/2007 20:58

Do I have to do it tonight, I thought it was tomorrow I really can't have a bad 2007, 2006 was very stressful.Will see how quickly I can rip them all down. They don't have to be packed do they ?

mumeeee · 05/01/2007 21:00

Tomorrow is 12th night. so we will be taking our decorations done then.

Coolmama · 05/01/2007 21:09

Just finished!! so glad that's all over - jammed everything into those big plastic storage bins and will shove it all into the attic!

harktheheraldfoxessing · 05/01/2007 21:10

MegaLegs · 05/01/2007 21:12
