Overview
- Many households choose New Year's Day to pack away decorations.
- Some remove them immediately after Christmas Day to reset their homes.
- There is no single correct date, with timing described as a personal choice shaped by practicality or preference.
- Real trees can dry out, shed needles and pose a fire risk, and local councils offer recycling or tree collection that residents should check.
- Common decorating start dates vary, with many beginning on December 1, others in mid-December, and some in November.
