I know, I know, bah humbug and all that, and you're supposed to leave it up until after New Year (um, why?), blah blah blah ... but I'm like, "Right, Christmas is over, the tree has served its purpose (did Santa or did he not leave gifts under it? why yes he did) and it's time to get our house back to normal."

Besides, I get to clean in peace and quiet, uninterrupted because the children are happily playing with their new toys!

Is anyone else like me - pack everything away the day after Christmas? (In my defence, we have had the tree up since the first of December.) Or am I alone in this habit??
