Who's still finding stray Christmas things

...and has a shoebox to collect everything in because they didn't get expertly packed away with the majority of stuff?

So far, X2 carol music books, X3 Chris food magazine insert specials, X2 small fibre optic trees, X1 small wooden homemade reindeer, X1 new this season 3D printed tree decoration, X1 homemade felt polar bear.

I suspect there is still more.

I just found a box of Maltesers!

Lots of houses on the school run still have wreaths on the door or even trees up with lights on!

The mint matchsticks have their own place in the cupboard at the moment

Our next door neighbour still has tree up.
And there are definitely more houses still decorated this year than ever before

I have some (fake) mistletoe still hung up. My DCs made some Christmas trees and an elf house, they are still on display.

I probably have several baubles hiding under the sofa.

I've just found a Terry's chocolate orange, and it's mine all mine!

bluesky45 · 12/01/2024 20:19

We still haven't taken one of the Christmas trees down yet! Probably get round to it this weekend. Also still have the lights up outside and a wreath on the door. Might sort all that this weekend too. And I just spotted the collection of snow globes in the one room I thought I had finished!

WagWoofWalkMeeoow · 12/01/2024 20:20

I still have my tree & Decs up, I've been finding the odd random decoration around the house & putting them by the tree, BUT, I'll still find some when it's all packed up!!

Octavia64 · 12/01/2024 20:22

I have a lot of food left over.

I hosted a lot of people for a long time.

Happy the German Christmas biscuits are left, the turkey flavour crisps are just weird!

DH bought me another one after Christmas, because we'd only had one over the holidays 😄.

MrsPerfect12 · 12/01/2024 20:25

I found the yoto box and cards! How on earth did I miss that!!

Jeffjefftyjeff · 12/01/2024 20:27

Literally just found a Christmas tree shaped candle after being convinced I’d got everything this year. I keep our Christmas decs box (which lives in the loft) hanging around downstairs until mid Jan for exactly this reason

DisforDarkChocolate · 12/01/2024 20:27

I still have the card I got my husband up, and the one from the year before. They are very lovely.

watermelonsugar56 · 12/01/2024 20:27

I’m being haunted by rogue pine needles 😂

ShinyPrettyThings87 · 12/01/2024 20:28

Over the past week, I've found four stray presents that I've finally gave to their new owners. A half full Naked Marshmallow S'mores Box that we started on Christmas Eve then it got lost amongst the chaos! Not sure if I want to risk eating anymore of it as nothing got sealed back up properly...
A couple of Christmas cards I didn't know about. Apparently my DH likes to just bring things home without telling me so unfortunately I didn't reciprocate in time... 🙈

I still have my Christmas runner down, by choice, not tardiness. I'm not quite ready to give that up yet. Oh! And I stuck some beads around my circular mirror in the bedroom early December... I may leave them up too...

Blixem · 12/01/2024 20:37

I've got a pile of forgotten Christmas stuff! Plus I just bought some new decorations in the local garden centre sale so I'll need a new box for it to go in now!

Jessforless · 12/01/2024 20:38

Yes! A Christmas plate, one bauble and a Santa themed basket. Don’t know if I can be bothered to put them in the loft and considering chucking them 😂

Mushroomwithaview · 12/01/2024 20:39

I just noticed this morning that our wreath is still up. It's off to the side, not actually on the front door so I missed it.

Also found some jolly santa fairy lights on a picture in the dining room yesterday.

Hibernatalie · 12/01/2024 20:45

So jealous of people who still have chocolate

Hibernatalie · 12/01/2024 20:45

Although there is half a mint vue eta in the freezer.

CrushingOnRubies · 12/01/2024 20:59

Well the tree and Christmas lights got taken down today here! So has been away and don't have the space to have to them down but not in the loft which is a two man job. And it took up less room to have an undecorated tree up.

Found 2 random tree decs & the poinsettia is still living

Iamblossom · 12/01/2024 21:05

Still got a panettone sitting on the sideboard in the living room....Hmm

OldTinHat · 12/01/2024 21:09

I've spotted that a neighbour over the road still has a Christmas door wreath up. Does that count?

And certain soaps still have Christmas decs up 😬

Dontdeclutterthemagic · 12/01/2024 21:14

I stuck a cardboard Nativity scene onto our front door in December. Only noticed and removed it yesterday! I walk through that door about 6 times a day, must have become totally oblivious to it.

In our house anyone who spots a stray decoration after 12th Night gets a chocolate button.
