Perhaps the thread title should be "Time to get the non slip mat under the ladder"  point:

Took mine all down on Friday when I came home from work and recognised the festive period was well and truly over. Walking in the door to twinkling loveliness was simply irratating.

Also cleared out under the stairs cupboard before putting all Christmas related things back in - and then still cooked dinner for friends who were coming over at 7  angel1

By tradition they should not come down until tomorrow I'm told but Mrs S#2 returns to work tomorrow and as she is the only one she trusts to pack things away "properly"  whistle:

At the BM household I could understand the decs staying up a bit longer as you haven't been there to see them anyway. Frankly I'm still wondering why you bothered to put them up in the first place.

When we used real trees (before discovering that the sap caused the little one to suffer badly from Asthma) I always got the garden shears out and chopped it up in situ, placing all the cuttings into a bin liner ~ thus the only needles were confined to the one place.

I know - I've heard that so many times about it being unlucky to take it down before the 6th from religious / superstitious minded folk (whatever the difference there may be ).

Honestly whats the worse that can happen  scared2:
