We'll start taking stuff down tonight since DH works Wed-Sat this year. It usually takes me 2 days to get it all packed away. I plan on cleaning the house on Saturday and Sunday so it's nice and fresh for the new year!

We are still having another Christmas next weekend so we are leaving ours up until after that at least.

We usually keep it up until around Jan. 7. But we are moving on Jan. 3 so this was a very weird Christmas for us anyway. The tree came down this past Sunday because we have to pack it (and everything else for that matter) up. We also decluttered the tree and might just buy a real one next year!!! I'm so excited!!!

It's still Christmas in our hearts!

Usually New Years Day, but we are taking it down today - I'm having surgery Jan. 5th and have some stuff to do before then (including steam-cleaning the carpet in the living room where the tree is), so the sooner the better this year. We usually take it down NY day though.

I voted for after Epiphany as well because that's the norm for us but this year I'm ready for the tree to come down earlier because our living room is tiny and I had to move DD's school desk to put up the tree. The tree will most likely come down this weekend so that we can get set up for a new school year and DD can have her desk area back.

In Holland the tree stays mostly untill after Jan 1st. They pick up the trees (if you have a real one) on Jan 6th.
This year I am still thinking of putting all away already....I am not really in Christmas mood anymore...don't know why.

Ours always stays up until after New Years, and then I gradually take stuff down so its all gone by 12th Night. The one exception are Christmas cards, which drive me mad as they are always collapsing - so I'm letting Alex lose with a pair of scissors & glue today to make a collage

Snap Sara. Our cards have already gone the distance We'll start to take things down slowly and the last thing that goes is the garland that goes across out mantelpiece. We are considering leaving the greenery and fairy lights and removing the CHristmas bits and pieces and just adding in some other stuff.

I took the tree down today. I was sick of looking at it, it was taking over the room (well, that and the hundreds of tiny pieces of toys that littered the floor!). Cards and other bits are still up, but I'll probably have them down before the weekend is over

We usually take the decorations down on New Years Eve or New Years Day.

I took mine down today and packed all the decorations away.

I have extra kids coming in to my home and they'll all be back next week, so I like to have my house in order before that happens.

Usually, I wait until after New Years.
