    New Years Day at night. I have a hard time putting them away, but justify keeping them up until then because it is still the holiday season! :laugh:

    we won't be home until the 30th, so then is a good time. I want my living room back to normal and the tacky decorations away.

    Generally, right around New Years', but this year my daughter is bringing her kids in the third week of January, so we are extending it by a lot!

    Usually New Years Day. Although, I have been known to not even put out decorations on years when the hubs isn't around to help.

    Why bother taking them down at all? Christmas will be back again next year.

    Take them down? Why would I do that? I keep those mothers up all year then just put new ones over the top of the burned out ones. Waste of time to take them down when I know I'm just gonna put them back up next year.

    Hahaha... couldn't help myself!

    Not until January 6th-ish. After the 12 days of Christmas are over. I love the decorations & lights, so I don't mind leaving them up for a while. :smile:

    I take the decorations down a few days after Christmas. But the tree and lights come down after New Years.

    Some time in January, but I would happily leave them up until Spring.

    I only decorate the mantle, put up a nativity scene & of course the tree, no hanging decorations or lights, nothing to invasive or space consuming so ours stay up till the weekend after new year.

    I'm usually the day after. My mom though, starts in the afternoon on Christmas Day. EVERYTHING is gone by the end of the day.
