We keep it all up through the Christmas Season, and take down as soon after Epiphany as we can (outdoors, it depends ont he weather, but we don't turn them on again after Epiphany.)

That being said, the tree is down. The cats took it down about 2:30 AM Sunday, and rather than replace everything, I was just thankful nothing got broken and decided to put it all away. That is the first time EVER I have had cats take a tree down! All the 6.5 and 7 footers were fine. The 4.5 foot artificial one was the first one down. I think I'll go back to a BIG, live one next year!
