Are you taking your tree down today?

[Em3bbs]

Took mine down today as I'm also back at work tomorrow and want to get the house in order, everything back in the loft etc.

Don't really care for tradition - the Christmas break is over when I go back to work in my eyes so down comes everything.

 

[V4NT0M]

Can't be bothered.

 

[Worthy]

Never put one up so no....and yes.

How come? I live alone but I'm still not enough of a scrooge to never put one up to begin with.

I'll be taking mine down on Saturday. Only because I'm back to work tomorrow and can't be bothered to do anything on my last day of slob!

I stood up to take it down, and then started thinking along these lines.

It's all gone too quick this year. A sign of getting old I think.

Will leave it up, saves me taking it down and putting it back up next year.

Hah! One of my mates did this. We were watching footy in summer last year with the tree at the side of the TV.

The only annoying thing about taking the tree down today is that the local tip isn't open.

Ours will be taken apart and go back in the box.

 

[Stolly]

took mine down on the 29th, sick of the damn thing dropping needles everywhere !

We got a real one this year after having a plastic one the past few years. My son wanted to go to the garden centre and choose one. Unfortunately we don't even have a garden waste collection in this area so I'll have to take it down the dump.

We left ours up until February last year...no-one could be bothered to tidy it away.

 

[wannabedamned]

I'll be taking mine down tomorrow, as I go back to work tomorrow night. And I'll be too tired to do anything for the next 3 months of constant work. SO its either tomorrow or in April.

My wife would leave it standing until the end of the month if she got chance. A little gentle persuasion ensures that she doesn’t.

 

[Deluxe1]

No....tradition dictates that you take down the tree the day after the Epiphany, so by the 7th.

Don't think i know anyone who leaves it up until the 7th, usually the 02nd Jan at the latest.

 

[utajoker]

shall prob take ours to the tip on thurs or friday.

 

[MOOGLEYS]

Ours is coming down tomorrow morning. Only had a tree for the kids presents.

 

[branddaly]

On the 7th after Epiphany. However I didn't put mine up till the 23rd. My neighbours had their tree up in November, so its no surprise theirs is down already, I'd be sick after five weeks too.

 

[Scania]

Felled ours on the 29th

 

[G18241]

was going too...got carried away with the horse racing and football, now i cba so it will probably be next weekend

 

[Dave L]

Took ours down on 28th, had enough of the thing taking up so much room.

 

[Destination]

Previous did the 8ths to the 6th, but this year did the 1st to the 1st.
Long enough.
Living feeling empty without a tree though.

If the kids were old enough for school, would have waited till the weekend and them going back, but I'm off work today so just got the house cleared and cleaned up.

Its a bit sad to see the shops who have their Christmas stuff gone on boxing day, in time for their sales, truely a bit of a sad marketing ethos.
