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!

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.

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.
