    In the office, they never went up due to low attendance cos of snow.

    In the reception area they went down today.

    A lovely minimalist Xmas!
  • mine are coming down tomorrow definately as the tree looks bare without any pressies under it ! Plus my birthday is 6th January- 12th night so decs have always come down well before then in my family as its hard enough to feel its my special day as january is a rather rubbish time to have a birthday (every1 being broke after Xmas etc:() without xmas decs competing with birthday cards !! Like a few others have mentioned its lovely to put them up but just as nice to put them away again and greet the new year with a nice clean house :)) happy 2010 to you all Nat xx

    Mine will be coming down tomorrow and the christmas china will be going back into boxes too. Place will seem bare without them!! have packed away normal ornaments and pictures so need to get them out, cleaned and put back into place. Happy New Year All, trying to keep awake till 12 but don't think I'm going to make it!! No party here but loads of DVD's and a large box of Roses, perfect!

  • I have been known to take my down on Christmas night...lol

    I put mine up around the start of December and as much as I love Christmas, I hate when the presents have all gone and the tree looks empty.

    However this year it is still up as I was working loads over Christmas and haven't got around to it yet. I will be taking it down tomorrow though.
    ;)I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY;)

    Normally take ours down on the 6th, but this year OH will be away so we will do it as a family on either 8th or the 9th. I want the decorations down, put in box and stored in the loft not just left in the bedroom to fester for a few weeks.
