2nd jan. its an emotional day for me for other reasons, so I never work on that day and all the decs come down then. As a family we don't regard xmas as ended until 6 jan though. Angela

My family come for the day on New Year's day, and we have turkey and all the trimmings, crackers etc. When they go home I start taking down the decs, starting with the cards. They're all pached away by the 2nd. Once NYD is over, I can't wait to get the house back to normal Anne
