It’s the age-old debate which has seen many squabbles over the years – when do we take the Christmas decorations down? Yes after Christmas ends and the festivities draw to a close there comes the question of when you should ‘do a Scrooge’ and remove the fairy lights, tinsel and poinsettia from around the home. While some people are adamant they must stay until the new year, others are quick to whip them down and box them away as soon as the bell tolls midnight on Boxing Day.
