When are Christmas decorations coming down

[Ilovejellysweets]

When is everyone taking down their Christmas decorations?

MammaNetta Yes, we will be truly fed up of turkey soon. We had pork, not turkey, this year but some family ended up buying way too much turkey and have off loaded it to us. Its enough to keep us going for weeks!

I have taken the tree down to make room in the living room but the rest of the stuff (lights in the window and the icycles outside) is still up

Mine are all down ,they get on my nerves after christmas

Jan 2nd in my house! House always feels empty for about a week after they've gone.

I am currently pondering the idea of shoving the decorated (artificial) tree up the loft hatch hole as it is. Saving all the faff next year.

Jan 2nd here too. I'm going to have a grand cleaning session and get the house ready for a new term.

oh noooo Turkey so you'll be Bridget Jones-ing with turkey curry buffets well into 2012 then :)

There are some miserable sods on this thread My tree cost £45 and has only been up 10 days - no way is it coming down before New Year

Twelfth Night.

But we only decorate on Christmas Eve, so they are up foir less time than in mot households even though we take them down 'late'.

6th January. I like having the tree around the place. And tinsel and fairy lights :-)

Twelfth night.

The schools go back here on the 5th Jan. I bet they won't still have their trees up.

Saturday for us as we are away from Sunday for a long while and I don't fancy Christmas decs once we get back.

Already down.

GeriMiranda - mine's a fake tree. If I had a lovely real tree, I'd probably keep it up as long as possible. I love the smell

12th night. In my part of Scotland schools didn't break up until 23rd dec and are back 9th january. Hogmanay feels like a really special deal here with lots of parties and visitors. Fun has only just began! !

Boxing Day. It goes up 2-3 days before Christmas and comes down immediately after.

Sparklingbrook,

The school I teach in goes back on the 4th. We left the tree up in the hall, and will take it down after the end of school on the 6th.

I think that's great teacher. Ours went to a church first school and when we went to pick them up when they broke up for Christmas the tree had already gone.

We only got ours on Christmas Eve too, so it'll be up till the 6th Jan I reckon.

I'd love to take the blessed things out now, but have been over-ruled by family...
so they're coming down Jan 2nd. Sooner the bettera s far as I'm concerned!

I used to miss the decorations and especially the lights when taking them down on 6th Jan, such dark days, but learned from elderly friend to have bowls of hyacinths ready to move into place immediately after.

Twelfth Night here too.

Gone! Gone! Gone!
Bloody stuff does my head in even before Christmas.
Now I can clean all the little nooks and crannies and dusty bits from where all that tacky shite the stuff was.
I hate putting decs up and its always me who's left to put them away the second Christmas is over
Ggrrr! (and bah bloody humbug)
