You take the tree down on New Year's Day, really! I think that just shows a lack of commitment to partying on New Year's Eve, if you are in a fit enough state, to do that then :)

I remember this meme Ronnie, love your answers.

When we were young mum and dad wouldn't allow the tree to go up until Christmas eve, though that changed over the years. Love Actually is a favourite here too :)

Sophie - That picture always makes me smile. Thanks.

Roz - Thanks. Same when I was small, we actually went out on Christmas Eve to buy our real tree and then decorate it.
