Just taken all my decorations down with help from hubby. Ready for next month to sow my first seeds.

Well, I did it the day before yesterday and of course, forgot 2 items. I can now sit next to the radiator again. Bliss!

Nice to know that i'm not the only one who takes them down early.

I don't take my lights down, or turn them off till January 7th. Think I will try tonight to go outside and video tape the lights just for you all.

Epiphany?? Whoa! Never heard of it! Thought it was a lightbulb moment.

Looking forward to seeing the light/lightbulbs moment!

I've heard of it. But Christmas used to be a pagen festival and that's what we believe in.

"Used to be"???? and "what we believe in" (me not included) not here to change minds, just only to say that I leave my lights on till Jan. 7th and why.

I am a total pagan (or sic!), or an atheist .. I don't mind doing the Christmas tree for my son and for the festive season. Shame everything is so commercialised because of money making, but children are very happy this time of the year. I saw nearly 6 children opening their prezzies in the restaurant and it's nice to see such happiness, although it gives a wrong message to the kids and the pressure of buying prezzies for kids is terrifying.

I got rid of the tree just to de-clutter, which will promote my well-being. We don't have big houses here and a tree in my poky little 3-bedroom house had been a bit of inconvenience when drawing the curtains. So happy that I have a bit more room to play with. We never bother about epiphany here in the UK. Christianity is losing its grip in this country.

Don't have a big house either.. bought it for the property it sits on, and the location. Just 3 bedrooms, 2 baths. about 1600 sq feet total. don't put a tree up, have not in years. just too much for only us.. and I do all the work anyway. don't feel like going out tonight to take that video. tomorrow, will be just coming home from work then.
