    My parents take down our decorations down a different time every year. Their goal is New Years, but that never happens. My mom just watches The Mummers Parade all day. This weekend we are gonna take down the decorations and the tree.
    Thank you so much for my siggy, kittycats_delight!

    I usually get started New Years Day taking things down. With a puppy in the house I'm considering just leaving everything up until next year.

    My outside lights go up in November - I usually take advantage of a good day when it's not raining. they are always lit by the end of November.

    My inside decorations and my tree went up in mid December this year and I don't plan on take anything down until the weekend of Jan 19th.

    Yes, I like to delay as much as possible because the lights are so pretty.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    My lights go up in first week of December, AFTER dec. 6th.
    Everything goes down again half January; not because I WANT them to go, but because the dustcart is pixking up all christmas trees in that week

    We took ours down yesterday and now the house looks bare and in need of a lick of paint!

    Between New Year's Day and Epiphany, depending on the calendar (weekend after New Year's, typically.) I find a natural tree only stays good about 2 weeks before turning into a big old fire hazard.

    Varies from year to year. On time I still had Christmas cards taped to the wall well into June.

    Our stuff is still up, but will probably come down before January is over.
