hmmm interesting. I've never know anyone to do it Christmas eve...guess that's one way of keeping little hands away from it. Though we do open our presents Christmas eve. But did know there was a date in Jan to take it down. I remember this as when my sis got married she was horrified to find the Christmas tree still up in the Church at the night before...she was married 4th Jan so it still had a couple days to go & it was huge LOL.

Gotta love SA.......going with the Christmas pagent LOL!
