My central heating burst a pipe last feb. Concrete floors had to be jacked up, lost all the furniture in one of the bedrooms. Anywho the same/another pipe burst in December. I have had no heating all Christmas. The plumber has decided that instead of jacking up goodness knows how much floor to find the leak he is going to cut off access from the heating to the pipes under the floor and run new pipes in all the rooms along the walls. Said work starts tomorrow or the next day. He is also a galumphing so and so. Therefore my precious decorations have to come down

Will leave them up until 6th of Jan. The branches have started to droop a bit but no shedding.

Mine only went up a week before Christmas so will leave them up until January 6th.

Back to work today so took down the ones around my desk cos I just couldn't be looking at them now that the holidays are over!

Decorations will stay up at home though until Sunday I reckon - depends on when we have the time/are in the humour to take them down though :pac:

Same as myself. As someone mentioned, it was like Santa got sick in the office. I was proud of the tackyness, but alas, they had to come down.

I'm the same- took some of the work decorations and the work tree down yesterday.
I have put a few things away at home and am taking the wreath off my front door today, but the tree will remain until Sunday. Dreading my sitting room and kitchen with no trees- they're going to look awful!

6th/7th Jan for us always, although I have noticed a shift in the last year or two, wherby the tree + deccies go up way too early
(like two or three weeks before Christmas day), then they come down just a few days into Christmas!

Mine will come down at the weekend.
Hate when the decorations come down House looks bare and dull and feels less cosy, as if it isn't depressing enough that Christmas is over

+1 for this! The warm glow of the Christmas lights are lovely, will miss them when they're gone! If only there were year round excuses for decorations :P

One year we left the lights around a pot of dried flowers in the living room on until the clocks went forward and put them back on at the end of October. They died just before the next Christmas. I'm half tempted to do it again this year, it made the room lovely and cosy in the evening.

Great idea. I might do the same myself!

Always the 6th Jan for us, but they don't go up until around the 20th - was actually Christmas Eve this year. I might take them down on Saturday 5th for convenience sake this year.
