Too soon, too soon!

Christmas trees should go up on Christmas Eve and come down on Twelfth Night...

I always get confused which night is the 12th night, is it 12 nights from Christmas eve or Christmas day? what day should the tree be taken down?

 

[Meeshoo]

We put ours up last night (when you have kids you get pressured into it!) but we always take ours down on 6th January.

That confuses me, too, but I'm pretty sure it's 5th January...

Confused? Yes.

Take your pick - 5th January or 6th January but no later! If you start at 11.55pm on the 5th January and complete taking them down into the 6th you should have covered all bases

I have an angelic (NOT!!) Bichon Frise who can take them down quicker than you can put them up!

Now does anyone know where I can buy a Christmas Tree that hangs from the ceiling?

B&Q have black ones, pink ones etc!

Have you tried the pet spray that stops cats and dogs going near the tree? Apparently it smells of citrus. I have no idea if it works but there was a programme on the radio the other day and lots were recommending it.

I don't bother with a tree ... but I decorate everything else. Usually do it on/around 30 November/1 December! Yes really ... and no children in sight to blame it on! Been a bit late this year and only just did it all today.

Ooh ... Klos ... one of my friends has just got a Bichon Frise puppy called Marley - quite the cutest bundle of fluff ever! Looks like a ball of cotton wool.

...that upside down tree is just plain odd!
