I was going to make a start today, but Mr C wants them up for a bit longer so he will be taking them down himself on Sunday :hmph:

This weekend probably, I'm usually really sick of them by now but we only put them up 6 days before Christmas this year so I'm not too bad yet

Mine came down on New Years Eve. I like to start the New Year with a clean fresh house. (it looks rubbish without them though :sad:)

It's bad luck to take them down before NY.

But it's already in Manchester, so how much more cruel can fate be?

Normally around the twelfth night, however our daughter took the tree down last night and boxed most of the decorations.
Just a few things still to box then she will help her dad put them in the loft tonight.

I also did no washing yesterday because apparently you are washing yourself with bad luck for the rest of the year if you use the washing machine NYD so I have done my washing today instead :laugh:

People take them down at different times, depends how it fits around their working life I guess.

That can't be an old tradition, unless it means not washing yourself...which is just rank, especially I scotland if you hammer new year but also have the whole of new years day to do as well.
