Before midnight on Wednesday we must say goodbye to:

The Tree, Jolly Santa Angel and much more

leaving everywhere looking bare, wrap and pack them them all up into the loft,hoping I haven’t missed one somewhere like I usually do!
Is it just me or do the decorations seem to be back out of the loft in no time at all?!

I wont be taking mine down until the last minute either, I hate packing them all up in tissue paper, and it looks so bare without them, I usually forget one, convinced it is bad luck too.....

Thanks Dottydaisy2 I hope not to miss one this year! They say it's bad luck but I take that with a pinch of salt and fingers crossed 'cos I'm not supersticious Lol
