Mine went up second weekend in Dec. We have to move the lounge around to accommodate the tree . The only place it really works is in the bay window where we usually have another sofa. So after three weeks of it we are ready to move everything back! I still have Xmas food, chocs, candles and flowers , just no tree .I’m so shocked at how many people have already taken the decs down! If you have, when did you put them up? Is it because you went early and did them in November?
We put ours up sometime in the first week of December usually and take them down between 2nd-5th January. It’s such a lot of effort to put them up and winter is so miserable once Christmas is over, I’m in no rush to get back to normality!
SameMy decorations and tree come down New Years Day.
I look forward to putting them all up then I look forward to putting it all away.
The tree's the best bit for me. Maybe you should buy one of those brown or white trees something like this:-I want to take my tree down now but my daughter wants to keep it up. I’m compromising on Friday/Saturday.
Thanks for the recommendationsThe tree's the best bit for me. Maybe you should buy one of those brown or white trees something like this:-
I got mine from a gift shop without lights and the bark is realistic.Wayfair.co.uk - Shop Furniture, Lighting, Homeware & More Online | Wayfair.co.uk
Shop Wayfair.co.uk for A Zillion Things Home across all styles and budgets. 5,000 brands of furniture, lighting, cookware, and more.www.wayfair.co.uk
Then your daughter can decorate it for the seasons e.g. Valentines day - hearts, champagne glasses, Easter - hanging decorations, summer - fairies, marabou fur trim.
Home Bargains and Hobbycraft are good sources.
It will take the sting out of losing the Christmas tree - she can transfer some of the ornaments off the tree on to it that aren't particularly Christmassy.
I keep mine in the conservatory and it's a real talking point.
Some people do a "food" tree - buying ornaments to fit. Children can also craft things for the tree.
I plan to start buying bits for people when I see them, so from January onwards hopefullyI started my Christmas present shopping for 2023 today
I ordered something on Christmas Day morning for next yearI started my Christmas present shopping for 2023 today
Totally agree. I enjoy this week after Christmas so much. Had a quick clean today, but went round the tree n decsI like keeping mine up until New Years is over. This week is the time you really get to enjoy them being up. All through December up to Christmas eve you're at work, present shopping, preparing everything, now you can finally sit back watch tv, eat food, relax at home... why waste it cleaning and putting it all away
Oh I've only got left a few duck spring rolls and some sausages rollsFor the first time in my adult life I seem to have hit the correct buffet ratio. I have nothing left other than some filo prawns and camembert. It's really strange and disconcerting as I've usually half a freezer full of samosas/sliders at this point . We're not actually entertaining over new year but I still felt the need for a lidl dash. All that was left were no duck spring rolls.
