So, which is it, the 5th or 6th?

And, should they be taken down ON that day, or the day before? tchconfused

attacking, not attaching!

Traditionally it's the 12th night, (twelve nights after Christmas i.e. 6th Jan).
However, as our DC and DGC drove down the drive this morning, DH was already attaching the tree, which is now languishing in the back garden.
I do love the Christmas decorations, but I love it when they come down too!

When you're fed up with the sight of them?

You would think that at my age I should know this!

But every year we seem to go through the same thing!

Many thanks in advance,
