We took ours down on the 28th aswell.

OH is in a mad rush to take em down by the first week of Jan tops
Muggins here has to take the carcass of the now deceased tree to the dump as well as get up a fakin high ladder to take the external lights down.
I did leave them on the whole year lest year to prove a point

Ours came down yesterday(28th) too.

Personally i would have pulled them down on xmas day after opening the presents but the Mrs would not allow me.

It takes only a few seconds for our Christmas Tree to go back to its box.
So no set date. We will do it when we feel like it.

Because of kids I'll probably leave it for a few more days.

When I was a kid the rule was always that the decs had to come down on the 12th day of xmas, so that would the 6th..

Now I'm the old man so they came down last night!

[Chinaboy]

Twelfth night is the correct answer i believe

Left them up for a year once, pure lazyness plus it brightened the flat up a bit.

Normally though, time up is proportional to time spent putting them up.
Given I spent £28 on 5 mtrs of 5050 LED's, tinsel, a switch, a solar panel and hours bodging it into an old motorbike battery for a subtle effect. They will remain a bit longer.

Maybe that Air Asia plane tried to land on my drive

Jan 2nd at the earliest.

Jan 1st is too early, and is a public holiday.

Couldn't stand it when family members got up early on Jan 1st and took it all down and declared Christmas was over, it wasn't even lunch time yet.

[rideslikean00...]

Meant to take mine down yesterday but got distracted playing Arkham Origins. Probably gonna take them down on Wednesday as it's an early finish from work.

Forgot to do this.

Will clingflilm the tree tonight so I don't have to re-decorate it next year.

[bamt]

It's 358 days until Christmas, and people round by us have already put their decorations up. Happens earlier every year.

[CieL]

I like how this looks so I might as well just leave it on all year round.

Yesterday... I'm not keen on clutter.

[thx1138]

tree and lights still up,

taking cards down one at a time, and cutting them up with crimping scissors to make gift tags for next Christmas

[sensi5446]

mine will come down sunday

[Tracey Suntan-King]

[Llama-Farmer]

Usually the weekend closest to New Year. So either the weekend between Xmas and New Year, or the weekend just after New Year... so it'll be coming down in the next 2 days.

12th night here but didn't put anything up until Christmas eve.
I didn't plan to as I was working right up to 8pm that day but I
got a free (real) tree at B and Q when I popped in there for
some gripfill so I thought I may as well put a few bits of tat up as well.
Tree was supposed to be £1 but there wasn't a barcode so the dolly bird
at the Trade Point counter said to just take it.
