Sometimes I take them down before Christmas (if we're going to be away). There is nothing more discouraging than returning home to see all that work waiting for me. If we don't go anywhere then they come down New Year's Day. I always thought the "twelve days" were the twelve days leading up to the 25th!

Mine is down as of today. Would have done it yesterday, but had the grandchildren. It's so much more fun putting it up than taking it down... :-(

No, we don't put up our decorations till about a week b4 Christmas and we leave things up till around Jan 6th or the weekend after ... my oldest dd b'day is the 6th and even tho she is going to be 36 we still follow the tradition of celebration Epiphany / Little Christmas with her on or after the 6th depending the day that it lands on.

Our tree will be up thru the weekend and the rest of the Christmas things will be packed up and put away. The snowman always stay out until March. Can you tell I'm a snowman nut?

We are 12 days of Christmas people too like many I read on this thread...nothing comes down until the Feast of the Epiphany - January 6. Nothing goes up very early either..we observe Advent.

Our tree always stays up until the third day of January, because our oldest granddaughter's birthday is January 1st and mine is January 2..we usually take the tree down together, but I did start to put all other deco away today..I am going slow...Grandma is tired.

I wait until Epiphany. The 12 days of Christmas and all that. We don't decorate until the week before Christmas, so I am not tired of it yet.

I started dreading having to rebox my decorations while I was putting stuff out. We usually wait till after New Years, but I wish all of it was already done.
