Take your tree down and how long does it take you?
Me? Mine's coming down on New Year's Day this year. I need to get back to some sort of normality. I'm a creature of habit you know. I haven't had one up the past few years

Recycle your Christmas cards at any Tesco store with card and paper banks.
I just put them on the recycling bin Erin

I might keep that a bit longer. That's easy to get rid of and doesn't clutter the place up

As long as you get it down by twevlth (sp) night Ells, you're ok
One year I still had the tree up on the 20th jan,I couldn't be arsed to take it down.
January 6th - about 2 hours to dress and put up decks and about 20 mins to throw everything in a box and back in the attic

Sposed to be unlucky Katty, and given the time it takes our council to get the town's decs down, no the wonder we have no luck

I never 'throw' everything into a box. I always place the toys carefully into a proper box
