When do you take your christmas decorations down?

“And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    They are still up, they will get taken down when I have a spare few hours on a weekend and no chores to do!

    We took ours down on the 27th I don’t think mum likes how cluttered it had become 
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    Yeah. Having to take it down at all is sad. And my sister almost fell out the loft whilst putting things back (I am too young to be allowed in the loft and all the dust might affect my breathing.) My sister actually took it down on 5th January- not 29th December

    Didn't even put up any decorations this year :( Usually my sister gets the decorations out from the loft but she was too scared because last time she went into the loft it went badly wrong.

    mine have been up since November and they're still up...probably gonna take them down tomorrow or Monday, but certainly before the 5th as that's tradition in our house.
