It doesn't bother me. There was a time (not that long ago) when we didn't see the decorations until around Thanksgiving, so it was fun to keep them up for a while after Christmas. Now, as others said, since they seem to be in our face starting in July, they lose some of the magic. ${#emotions_dlg.unsure}$

I cannot believe I've seen Christmas trees on the curbs (already) this morning.

do what you want in your own home and let others do the same. christmas decor up until june doesn't mean you care more about the season than someone else does. the REAL reason for the season is not about shiny lights and ornaments anyway.

Well said and I completely agree with you.

For years, I used to leave the decorations up until January 6. Now, I like to have the Christmas lights for New Years Eve....and then take things down on New Years Day. I have really simplified my Christmas decorating over the last few years, so it's not such a gigantic chore to put it all away...LOL.

The holiday season isn't even over yet. What about Epiphany and Russian Christmas?? The decorations go up way too early then poof! They should at least keep them up until New Years.

What about Chanukah or Kwanzaa?

Why would it bother anyone? Christmas is over.

I took all of my stuff down today. I've had it up since early November, so it's time.

I say to each their own. I usually keep mine up until a day or 2 after New Years.
