kate1310 my son couldn't care less about the tree, he wouldn't bother if it wasn't up at all. He would rather have room to play.

It's only once a year and It's for the children so you should leave it up a little longer.

Iโ€™ve always taken mine down boxing day or day after. My kids are nearly 18 so they arenโ€™t too fussed if they go up or down.

This year it was Boxing Day as we now have to finish packing our house up to move in two weeks.

I will be taking mine down either the 29th or 30th as itโ€™s my sonโ€™s birthday on New Years Eve. Iโ€™ve done this for years as it makes way for birthday balloons and cards

I follow the old Christian tradition from the 1500s and keep everything up until Candlemas on 2 February.

Itโ€™s a dreary time of year and to have an extra month of lights and tinsel is good from a feel good factor and also only put everything up a week before Christmas this year so for the effort to take them down so quick always seems a shame too

I didn't even put mine up this year, as it was put in the loft and had no way of getting it, was so disappointing as the house felt dark and gloomy.

Not that I seen anyone to even ask or help.

Spent Christmas alone and couldn't get out I had a sandwich to eat.

Wot I shared with my dog.

Then curled up in bed to keep warm.

Anyway happy new year to you all and health and happiness to you all.

I hardly put any up as we were away before Christmas and wasnโ€™t going to have Christmas Day at our home, but change of plan we did. Nobody worried the home wasnโ€™t decorated. But usually I am ready to take down stuff after the day but hold on until the New year.

I suggested to my wife that we should take the tree down, but she was having none of it. It would be nice to get the house tidy again without all the Christmas stuff everywhere๐Ÿ™„

We didn't really have many decorations up, just a small potted live tree (which will stay, but will remove the baubles and lights) my Christmasy style candle holders are often out throughout the year, as they are mainly silver snowflakes.

I did however take the cards down this morning, I was tidying up and it feels cleaner/fresher.
