When do you take down your decorations?

I plan on starting to put things away today. I can't stand all the extra clutter.

Normally I would do it today, but the kids are sick and I was up most of the night, so I just don't have the energy. Hopefully tomorrow, I can't stand the clutter either.

I do it Xmas Day when the kids go to their dads. Now all we do is play play play until the kids go back to school. LOL

On New Year's Day.

New Years Day while I watch the Mummer's Parade.

I take everything down the day after. I like to get everything organized again the way it was.

Normally I leave them up another week or two, at least until Epiphany.

This year, though, I'm thinking they'll be down this weekend- I'm just done with all this extra clutter.

We are having a party on the 3rd and dh wants to leave stuff up till then. It aint gonna happen! I'd like to get it all down and put away this weekend. I only put up about 1/2 what I usually do, but I'm ready to do some major cleaning!

I actually took mine down last night because I had the time to do it and everyone else was busy doing their own thing. We put ours up veeerrry early every year and I like taking them down right away and starting the new year with a clean slate.

I'll put away everything sometime before New Year's Day.

By 6pm Xmas I had the tree down, decorations boxed up and in the garage and all the clutter put away. I got home from my parents & the family celebration late afternoon Xmas day & got my 2nd wind and just plowed thru the task! My wreath is still hanging up outside, but will let that stay up for a few more days.

I had taken today off from work intending to put things away today, but I figured get it done and over with & then can rest & relax and enjoy today!!

I'm completely over Christmas this year, and would like to start taking them down today but I won't have time. Everything will definitely be gone this weekend though.

**cab54** · 12-26-2007, 02:38 PM

I do it a little at a time. Every time I go to the basement for something from the freezer, or whatever.....I take something down there, as much as I can carry witout dropping it. I hate a whole day of doing just the take-down.

I just finished taking everything down today. I already packed it all away and put it in the shed. DS#2 is taking down the outside decorations as I type. Gotta love him!! :-) I will put them in the shed later today.
