    Definitely Sunday 3rd Jan when the boys spend the time with their dad so I can get everything tidied away, decs in the loft, tree ready for the collection and everything hoovered without them getting in the way:D
    I thought as long as the decs were down by the 12th night it was ok, didn't know that it should be on the 12th night?

    Father Christmas brings our tree along with the presents once the children are in bed on Chritmas Eve. It then comes down on Twelfth Night.

    I can just cope with twelve days of Christmas and couldn't bear having the tree up before 24th December. Luckily I married a man who had similar ideas that I could "mould" into my Austrian traditions!:D


    I love that idea...would love to be more like that next year... I hate how the "commercial Christmas" begins in August,and ends somewhere around mid December!
    Having said that I still feelt he need to start planning earlier for next year:rolleyes:
    Oh I so need Christmas tobe different next year.....sigh...
