Twelfth Night

[derrick]

Put our twig back in the box, ready for next year.

I'm usually quite keen on the old 12 day thing, and certainly can't go into a new year without the decorations up. This year's slightly different but it's more operational reasons which is I shouldn't be back at work until the 8th but I'm heading to London tomorrow for a training event leaving Mrs Slick on her Jack for a couple of days and she won't waste an opportunity to return the house to normal conditions.

Decorations should not be put up before Christmas Eve and come down on twelfth night.

I heartily agree with you. We're still only on nine ladies dancing.

 

[pawl]

Ours always come down day after Boxing Day.Mrs P cant stand them any longer.

Must be a record this year,decks only up for 9 days.

Our LED twig tree has been unplugged
Went for a walk tonight and there’s still lots of houses all lit up inside and out
Fed up looking at it all.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Our tree is still up and probably will be at least until the weekend.

 

[Lullabelle]

Everything packed away yesterday.

 

[Brandane]

Back to work for me tomorrow, as janitor at a care home. It was my job the week before Christmas to untangle all the decorations (about 7 large bin-bags full of them) and decorate 3 lounges plus several corridors. On top of that there were 3 fully decorated trees and several smaller ones without the full lights/baubles/tinsel. Sometime this week I need to find time to take them all back down again, which might not be easy given that I only work 5 hours per day and there are bound to be more pressing matters.

Everything stays up until Twelfth Night.

Remember, don't just wind the lights up as you're putting them away.

I will do the same as my predecessor did. Cover trees in plastic wrap complete with lights, baubles and tinsel. Carry them up to the loft and leave them up there until December!

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Just putting them up for Christmas this year.

Up on Christmas Eve and down on Boxing day would be my choice.

 

[tyred]

I didn't bother putting any up. I did consider putting up a bit of string to hang the two Christmas cards I received up but decided it wasn't worth the hassle.
