The 'correct' time to take down your Christmas tree and decorations

The excitement of putting up the Christmas tree, and all the additional twinkling lights and glistening baubles that go with it, will be beginning to simmer down over the coming days.

Although technically you can take your decorations down whenever you want to, according to tradition there is a 'correct' date to it which is deemed good luck for the year ahead.

If you are superstitious you might take the deadline a bit more seriously than most, as it's believed that it can bring bad luck into the New Year if you take yours down too early.
