Hi Gophie [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/a010.gif" border=0]

  I always find that my house feels bare for a few days after I take everything down.  Probably Jan 2 for me.

That's hilarious Lil Me.  When you've had enough, you've had enough.

  I hate taking the stuff down.  I know it's going to be another whole year to see it again.  It takes me 3 weeks to get it all up....I'M GOING TO ENJOY IT.[img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/xmas/g065.gif" border=0]

Done. All I have to do is carry that stupid GIANTIC (why didn't I buy a smaller tree.....) &*(&&*^%^*&*(%^%% tree down my stairs and locking it in the garden shed.

lol Lise.  So bigger isn't always better.

  Jan 3rd sounds about right JJ.  I was just going to ask for help too.  So I take it you're not going to volunteer ?

We took almost everything down on the 28th.  I still have those snowman window clingee thingees up though...they're too cute to resist taking them down.  

  Oh, and my snowflakes cups are year-round. :))

My cards are still in place, but this is mainly because they're still arriving.

Speaking of cards, what do you guys do with your cards that are received?  Keep or recycle?

I keep some and make tiny gift boxes out of others for the next year.  (there's a neat little template to make these little lidded boxes with no glue) They're cute

I make gift tags out of them for the next time round or sometimes make them into postcards (if the picture isn't too redolent of Christmas).

I recycle all my cards.  I'd consider keeping them if I had a place to store them.
