You are meant to leave them until 12th night! Although I'll be glad to see the back of ours, I'm sick of clearing up Christmas tree needles. WOuldn't be so bad but its a fake tree!!!!!!
Took my tree and decs down yesterday morning, was quite a relief to be honest, we were in constant danger of tree avalanche thanks to our kitten breaking one of the leg supports.
Might follow Rowan's example and buy flowers, well, once ive gone out and bought new vases- the cat broke those too.
