Taking Christmas decorations down

It would be unlucky if you threw them away and then ran out of loo roll

We usually take them down New Year’s Day. It looks bare but tidy. Have to say I put them up first weekend in dec.

If you get stuck, give me a shout. I bought in extras for a game we played involving rolling baubles down a ramp to land them in toilet roll holes. I can’t get the new gift toiletries in the airing cupboard now for all the loo rolls in there..

Sorry, that was for LadyStardust.

Serious question here. Is it unlucky to still use The Snowman and the Snowdog loo paper after 12th night? I have 2 rolls left!!

Is it printed on both sides?
If not, use the other side 😁

Ps Do you have a cupboard near the loo?
Hide them in a cupboard when not using them, out of sight.

Went to church and took down the tree. I also put the 3 wise men in the crib, which stays in place until candlemas. Then home and took down our decorations. Everything in the boxes but the lids won't go on so I shall repack tomorrow. All cards are waiting to be cut up ready to remake/make gift tags for next Christmas.

Why won't the lids go on when the same things came out of those boxes a month ago?
It's always a puzzle.

Done! And upstairs in storage room.

Good point LauraNorderr!

Allira - Only printed on one side so problem solved!

I hate "getting back to normal". Reality can be suspended forever as far as I'm concerned.

Spotted one Christmas Decoration still hanging the kitchen!! Must remember to take it down!

Mine are all down. 3 trees. Thousands of lights. Packed away until next Christmas.

And I hate it

Just claim a Scandi connection!

Here in Sweden we still have another week as the decorations can stay up until the 20th day (tjugondag Knut) when you are supposed "dance out" Christmas and "plunder" the Christmas tree for any edible decorations.

When my children were little we used to go to the town square where the folk dancing club organised some dancing for the children, the shopkeepers' association handed out little bags with gingerbread, a satsuma and a few sweets while a council lorry collected people's Christmas trees which were taken to fuel the town power station.

There is still a big Christmas tree on Paignton sea front today. A modern green lights one. It looks lovely.
Perhaps they forgot to take it down.
