Good for you; I don't have to because I didn't put any up!

[ethandron]

sounds like a good plan madmaggot.

Put ours up on the 6th - then went away - just came back so deco's will remain up as tradition has it, until the 6th January ( 12 days of Christmas )

easier to take down then putting them up though imo

Unplugged optic tree & away till next year - I hope ?

eth......"taken my decorations down"

It reminded me of when I would leave for work in the morning, Mrs sqad would take my briefcase down and would shout "Is there anything else you want me to take down? and I would reply.......................LOL LOL

It was like Morecambe and Wise "tea urn"........she always fell for " is there anything else you want me to take down? ......;-)

A friend of mine takes her`s down on Boxing Day. I like to leave the tree up until New Year`s Day because it makes NY Eve a bit special.

You're not supposed to take them down until 12th night. I say that with my tongue firmly in my cheek, because all that I had up was a string line with the christmas cards dangling from it and as soon as Christmas Day was over I took them down and put them in a bag for the recycling man. And if I could persuade people not to send me Christmas Cards I wouldn't even have that problem. Yes, I know I am an old misery. And actually, I had a really lovely Christmas,.

I open the envelopes, read the cards, think to myself they'll get the message one day and throw them in the bin.
