I'm making the most of the last five days of having my decorations up. In the UK, most people take down their decorations on the night of 5th January. It's supposed to be bad luck to take them down...

Argh! 5th January every year is the day I dread! The house always looks so bare after the decorations are down!

Still looks very nice this year! Excellent job! :D

Yes, found it!

That's disgraceful! Anybody should be allowed to decorate their house for Christmas however they like!

Works fine in the UK, but is unavailable abroad. Very good documentary! It's probably on YouTube. Search for 'Channel 4 King of Christmas Lights' and you should be able to find it.

Wow! The tree is beautiful! It looks very traditional and cosy. Love it! :)

Really neat decorations, I love the fireplace! :)

I saw about six or seven houses lit up for Christmas walking home from the train station this evening. Love this time of year! :D

Very nice! Looks really wintery and beautiful! :D

Beautiful paintings! This is true art. :)

So, how do you spend the day every year?

For me, it's like this:

Christmas Eve: Watching films with a Chinese takeaway, usually with some boxes of sweets and mince pies out.

Morning:...

OMG, look at this in Brussels: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-20302574

It seems modern is really going too far now! Traditional is best! :|

I certainly have! I have a beautiful black cat who has been in my family since I was a very young child.

Have you ever decorated the outside of your house for Christmas?

Very nice! :)

Love them! :)

Oh my goodness, I forgot to mention 'I Believe in Father Christmas' by Greg Lake. An incredible song, one I never fail to listen to every year. :)

It's certainly nothing too special. I much prefer traditional to modern when it comes to Christmas decorations.

My town's Christmas lights this year were very disappointing.

2011 (lovely):...

Amazed that nobody from the USA and Canada has heard of it - it's become part of Christmas culture here in the UK - I would recommend watching it. :)

In my family, Christmas Eve is all about relaxation. Spend it just chilling out, and we usually have a Chinese takeaway. Followed by some mince pies, watching Christmas TV. Love it! :)

The first time the Coca-Cola trucks advert comes on. 10th November this year! ;)

Happy Thanksgiving to the USA! :D

OMG! That's beautiful! You are amazing, Papa! :tree:

When I get a place of my own, I will definitely follow in your footsteps at Christmas! You've done such a good job! :D

Well, I think the first YouTuber I showed you said that she starts decorating on Nov. 1 and decorates her house over the course of the following week. A lot of hard work indeed!
