    All mine got taken down yesterday and all the outdoors ones got brought into the kitchen and switched on to help them dry off (we still have snow/sleet everyday at the mo'). It looked liked Santa's grotto, all lovely and bright. :rotfl:

    I love my clear livingroom now but it does seem a bit dull now all the lights are away, I think I'll need to invest in some new lamps.

    Put them up 24rd. All down and packed away 26th..

    Thats how it should be by law... :confused:
    I came in to this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left. :rolleyes:
  • Have taken mine down today and have discovered mould growing on the skirting board behind where the tree was! am dealing with a major condensation problem at the moment but thats another story!
  • Hubby wants them all taken down today,including the tree, so today it is.
    I actually started folding away my red throws and boxing up the candles yesterday so I had started to de-crimbo the place already.

    Oh must remember to take the mini baubles off the yuka in the corner,nearly missed that!

  • Mine was done on Saturday. It was nice to get them out of the way again.

    I've got the tree and door wreaths still to go, I've gradually taken down the other bits over the last few days. I was going to do it tonight but I'll do it in the morning now. Going to enjoy the tree lights for one last night.
