I thought it was bad luck to leave them up after the 12th day - 6th January but you could take them down before then. If they are up after the 6th Jan then you are supposed to leave them up until Easter?

As late as possible and as little as possible, can't stand a load of clutter. I think the bad luck is supposed to be taking them down before the 12th day of Xmas, i.e 6th Jan

Before our children arrived we did the whole putting up decs on christmas eve.........but it usually was just a tree ( real ) and decorated whilst we wrapped and drunk snowballs and listening to Nat King cole & Phil spectar christmas songs lol. NOW we start the 1st weekend in december and have been doing this since our eldest 9 now 12 ) started Nursery :)) This year we will have 3 trees ( one for the kids, one for me and one outside ) and the one for me I will decorate on christmas eve whilst wrapping and drinking snowballs LOL!! Happy Holidays -x-

Don't wish to cause a riot, but isn't it bad luck to put tree etc. up early? I thought it was 12 days before Christmas or am i getting confused with the 12 days of Christmas song? Tricia

One or two houses are already trimmed up for Chrismas near where I live. I love Crimbo and usually put them up the first weekend in December. This year it's the 1st on a Wednesday and I'm toying with the idea of putting them up this weekend cos I'm not sure I can hold out till the 4th! :-))) How about you?
