Have you taken them down....

Talking Christmas decorations.
This year I really enjoyed putting effort into making our home Christmassy, not that anyone saw it 
Over the next few days I have to take it apart, its leaving me a little sad, but also it's a new start for a new year.
We all need one of those!
Happy New Year Everyone xx
Jo xx |

"I never had them up in the first place 
(no joke)
Oh er, did contemplate it but with kiddos you can't dodge it
Hope you are ok xx"
That's the difference.
Tis just me and my dog.
It would just annoy me seeing them |

Hey Jo! Happy New Year!
I have an old fashioned ceiling clothes airer in my kitchen. Just because it was such a ridiculous notion I hung all my Christmas baubles from it back in April last year so my decs had been up for months! It looked fab!
I took them down yesterday and replaced with flowers and greenery. Hopefully the absurdity of 2020 won’t continue until Christmas 2021!!! |

I can understand those who didn't put them up too, it's been such an odd year.
I saw it it as a little therapy as my daughter and I made lots of homemade ones this year
Next year hopefully will be better x |

Not yet, no. Going to do it this weekend. I'm the saddest about taking down the wreath, I love seeing it and I spent time making it. Oh well! I think in the spring I might try and do another seasonal one. |

I'll take ours down gradually over the next few days as can't stand them all disappearing at once.
Some of them I class as winter decorations so will stay up a bit longer as make the house look cosy x |

Although I take my decorations down by 12th night, I always leave the wreath on my door until it is past its best before taking it down. It's often up until March. |

Hang it in the garden where you can see it Meli. It will last for ages yet x |

I’m in a dilemma. My Christmas got cancelled.... do I leave the decorations up until late March when we hope we can have it?
I have two trees. One fake and one real. The real one hasn’t dropped any needles yet but it could be funny if it’s completely bald |

The only decorations up in my house were star lights and a big snowflake light in the living room window and 3 festive rubber ducks (angel, Santa and rudolph) all down and away now.
At mums (where we are most of the time anyway) there was 2 trees in the living room and various wall decorations plus a wreath I made for her and a tree in my daughters room now all away too |

Mine will be tomorrow. In many ways I'll be glad as my tree was dying quickly!
Fairy lights will stay dotted around for a bit longer though.
We need those to cheer up a dull and dark January |

"I’ll be taking mine down tomorrow
I added some little fairy lights to my grandsons memory tree this Christmas and I’ll be leaving them there as I feel they add something to it "

We didn't have any up.
Didn't even use the Christmas china that we normally start using from the 1st December.
Fingers crossed this December will feel more festive. |

They started to annoy me yesterday so I literally had to do it there and then until I was too knackered to continue. Luckily my very helpful teenager took over and did the rest. Feels so much less cluttered now |

When I was single, I used to leave them up all year round, but I only used to just put a bit of tinsel etc around one picture on the wall.
Xmas 2019, When I went to do my Xmas cards to send to friends, I was confused as to why some had sent me two when I looked at who had sent me one.
I eventually worked out, that I had not taken the ones down on the mantlepiece from Xmas 2018 and went a full year not noticing them.

I took ours down on Tuesday and its lovely to get the house back to normal. As nice as it is to feel festive I also look forward to taking them down in readiness for the new year.

Mine just came down now.
House looks so bare without them but there is snow predicted and the tree was infront of the french doors so would have blocked the pretty view |
