We leave our Christmas decorations up till Three Kings day, the Epiphany. Not in I rush to take them down to begin with. I like how our house looks decorated for the Winter season.

Boxing Day for me.  Back to normal.  Outdoor lights and window candles after New Year's Day.

With the exception of our two trees, I took all of the indoor decorations down yesterday.  The trees will come down Friday or Saturday.  Although I'll put out a few winter-themed items, my house will be back to "normal" by New Year's Day.  My outdoor decorations will come down the following weekend. 

 

My house has been FULLY decorated since September (Fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and then Christmas), so I'm more than ready to take everything down.  I like having a fresh start to the New Year!

I host New Years Day lunch here so leave up my decorations until the week after that, when I can get up my energy. I leave the window candles up until the batteries run out, usually sometime in May or June. I have been extra tired in the past and taken down everything, along with the baubles on my tree and just left the tree up and lit during the month of January. Usually, I'm ready to take it all away and get ready for my spring things. Yes, I did a search for new bunny things yesterday!

Not until after New Years day.  I'm a bit OCD about it as I incorporate decorating and undecorating with a big house cleaning so it takes me several days to accomplish it all!

I do love the look of my Christmas decor and we work hard to get it this way so we like to enjoy for a while.

I love Christmas, but I'm ready to put my decorations away. I will start on Sunday afternoon, and finish Monday.

Since January is dark and bleak we leave everything up for a week after New Year's Day. My husband put a lot of work into a festive holiday season, I hate seeing it all come down.
