    Before the end of Twelfth Night so before Jan 6th.
  • I always take mine down on Boxing Day as I like to get back to normal but I think it's at the end of the 12 days, so 5th Jan.
  • I believe it's 12th night depending on what date you consider to be 12th night of Christmas . Personally, mine all came down today and feel happy to see the rooms look normal again. I think anyone can take them down whenever they feel like it. It's up to you .
  • 6th of jan i think. mine are down but the tree is still up...the lights are so pretty ;)

    I have taken the cards down, and cleaned and stacked the Christmas crockery ready to store away for another year. Trees will all come down tomorow, once I have got up in to the attic and got the boxes back down.

  • Twelfth Night :) I'll move this to the Christmas Board later.

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com"]forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].
