Wow - that's efficient of you I only have the tree and door wreath so thankfully don't have too much to take down. I have to admit to liking my tree up though!

Re: Most Are Gone


I have to leave mine up as we are having a family get together on New Year's Day and the children love to see the decorations.

It will come down straight after though!!

Re: Most Are Gone


Come Twelfth Night the cats are really going to miss the tree - they've taken to "sheltering" underneath it in the lounge, just like they shelter under the conifers in the garden!

I love having the tree and the cards decorating the room but I don't have any other decorations up, when the kids were little we used to have paper chains and tinsel everywhere!

Re: Most Are Gone


I'll try and keep my tree up until twelfth night . . . I don't like the clutter either, hence my cards (despite OH's protestations) are in a tidy pile on the dresser, and there are no other decorations present. OH used to decorate the candleabras and mantles with holy, ivy, dried orange etc, but as it wasn't him that cleared up the mess I've now put a stop to that

And I think it was Prince Albert/Queen Victoria that first commenced the tradition of a decorated tree indoors . . . already practiced in Central Europe at that time and directly influenced by Albert's Germanic roots.
