Thats It,its Coming Down

[slinky.kate]

Christmas tree,cards etc.everything xmas.i want to get the house back in order again.Have you done yours yet?

[SlackAlice]

Yes all down yesterday, except for the lights outside, because it was wet and windy.

[Tilly2]

No, not until the 6th. I have been taught that's it's bad luck to take them down before Twelfth Night

[Ratty2E]

They would have come down by the 27 th if I had my way but it's OH birthday today so I have to leave them up till at least the 2nd. They get on my nerves once Christmas is over and I just want the place clean and tidy.

Festivities finished in our house with a dinner party last night.

Kitchen now back to normal, Christmas will be back I the loft by lunchtime.

[Baldric]

Never put them out in the first place, a string of Cards across one wall
and that was it, so no probs.
;-)

[Ric.ror]

No mine are up until next Monday and then might have a little celebration when getting them down

[mrs_overall]

We took ours down yesterday. I like it when the house is back to normal

[anneasquith]

yes,,,,,today's task, wont take long though !!

[knowabit]

Ours came down on New Years Eve, I blitzed the house!
I thought it was unlucky to leave them up AFTER the 6th.. dont think it matters if they come down early.
It depends on what you believe in I suppose? Jan 6th is an important day to some.

[boxtops]

Nope, we hardly put any up so we're planning to take them down at the weekend. It's BEFORE the 6th, tilly, not on the 6th, in our tradition.

My tree is coming down today + the two pieces of tinsel draped over two pictures in the lounge. Should take me all of 10 minutes.

[maggiebee]

Always left mine until the 6th, but they're getting on my nerves now. If my grandaughter is coming today they will stay up, if not they're back up in the loft ASAP.

[pinkgin]

Nerves or not,( it's the dust under them that bugs me!,) they stay up til 12th night, i.e. 6th January. Nearly there!

[carolegif]

Took ours down today, all stored away for another year. Now for the hoovering and dusting.
They have to be down by Twelfth Night, it is unlucky to leave them afterwards. We took ours down on Boxing Day one year and the following year was a very lucky one.

i get home and the better half says 'i've took all the decorations down, boxed them and put them in the loft, are you pleased?' ... 'did you take the batteries out of the mobiles' i say ...

[slinky.kate]

I am at the hospital for an ecg.on the 6th,thats more important than the xmas tree.so I am just waiting on some help to get it down.

[viv38]

Took mine down yesterday. The way time flies, I'll soon be putting everything back up again !

[craft1948]

The cleaner did mine today (thank god she's back after 2 weeks off). The house is now back to normal and smelling of lovely polish.....

[askyourgran]

Took mine down today, I didn't have as many decorations this year and only had the small pre-lit tree this year. All clean and tidy again.
