When does everyone take down their Christmas decorations ?
When I get bored with it....or too much dust accumulates.

I always find that my house feels bare for a few days after I take everything down. Probably Jan 2 for me.
My decorations were down and packed away Dec 26!!!
Enough is enough. BAH HUMBUG
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]
Thursday Jan 3 works for me this year. Any offers of help out there LOL.
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. (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)
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 ?
lol we just put up our lights last week. goof balls next door have everything down. HOW BOOOOOOOOOORING.
Middle of Jan.
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 (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)
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.
Great ideas for those cards. I saw a news story on all the garbage after Christmas, we really need to find ways of reducing it, reusing and recycling!
Recycling any unpostmarked stamps is even more satisfactory!
