Well, that is our Christmas tree and decorations down. I think I'd had enough of it for this year anyway. Usually we'd be around the 5th or 6th of January when I take it down, but I really just wanted it gone. With the tree down, I now feel more in a position to get on with things instead of living under the Christmas/New Year umbrella.
Have you taken down your Christmas tree? Or is that something yet to do?

I have not yet taken the tree down as I love it so much.
It is really the first time that we have had a tree most places we lived there were one thing or another going on, so this is a real treat.
I will leave it up til the middle of January til my bday.

@Darroch Oh dear Darroch, you were in the floods? I am thankful that it did not enter your actual house, but oh dear, I watched every bit of it before and after #StormFrank. I feel so much for the poor people there and I can imagine you are very disheartened.

Usually ours would be up a little bit longer, but with the flooding that has happened in our village (thankfully not our house) I didn't really feel in a celebratory mood any more and just wanted to get on with things and life back to normal.
Enjoy your tree!

Mine came down on the 31st. I love the way it gets packed up into boxes in less than half the time it gets to come out and go up!

Yes, very satisfying packing it all away and getting back the space. Only thing with my tree and decorations is that my daughter was keen and helping when they went up and someone seemed to leave the taking it down and packing it away to me.

We have taken down our Christmas tree on the 27th. I know that is way to early, at least that's what I think, but the boyfriend needs the space (where there is a wall socket) to plug his Christmas gift. I agreed on the condition that he will help me with the clean up. I have never seen a Christmas tree that was put away that fast!

Usually take it down on the 4th or 5th and will do so then again
