How long will you leave your Christmas decorations up?

I don't have a schedule for Christmas decorations, putting them up or taking them down. This year I don't have to deal with the mess either way because I chose not to put anything up. We travel so I just didn't want to do it this year. Typically my tree would be up a few more weeks though.

I don't put up a lot of Christmas decorations anyway but I do have a tree and a few things here and there. I usually take them down on the 31 December ready for the new year. To be honest after Christmas day they tend to get on my nerves a bit! All my decorations are indoors though - I don't have any outside my home.

I have taken everything Christmas related down and boxed them. Tomorrow they will take their usualy place in my basement until I drag them back up again next year. I live in a small apartment and nobody cares what we do for decorations or when we do it.

Hi friend merry christmas and happy new year in advance..we usually let the decorations as it is till january 2nd or 3rd so this year also we will do the same..

90% of my inside decorations came down last night and were put up. My lights outside are still on my house and bushes, and they will come down tonight. My plastic candy canes have been taken down, but they need to be stored in the storage room. Now I need to go to Wal-Mart and pick up a new Christmas tree!

I will probably leave my christmas decorations up until New Years day. Because that is the time when everything begins to settle down once again, and I will have to get ready for school onces more. It is hard to get back into the swing of school, after you have had a two week break. After a certain period of time, christmas decorations just dont fit the tone of the house as well. So, in answer to your question- I will take my christmas decorations down, eventually :x.

We leave them up till the 12th day after Christmas making the house decorated outside and in for 25 days total. Being a bit of a skinflint, haha, I've taken to cutting a branch from our bay tree and using that for a Christmas tree. It works really well and the leaves stay on for the full term. A regular fir tree had dropped all it's needles and was practically naked by the time it was due to come down! I love Christmas and decorations and presents and family. Great time of the year.

I usually wait until after New Years, this year I put the tree up later than usual and didn't decorate the outside of my house at all. I've already started taking down most of the decorations. My tree will be down tomorrow. I have a bit of an obsession with snowmen, and since we will have snow for at least a few more months I won't put them up yet.

I took all mine down yesterday as well. I just dont have a lot of room, so i needed the space for all the toys that my daughter got. lol. plus everything looked a LITTLE TOO cluttered for my likings.

We usually leave the cards up all year. They are on one table, and we take the tree down after New Year. Mind you, there is also the Ukranian New Year and we are not Ukranian so sometimes the tree mght stay up a little longer, but usually the day after New Years's and it is that. We do not have any lights around our house and we do not have any on the tree in the front yard or any decorations for that matter. Many of the neighbors leave theirs up to the day after New Year, and the ones who are Ukranian leave them up to the day after the Ukranian New Year and I have no idea whose New Year's comes in March, they do not take their decorations dowen till then.

we don't have a home owners association - thank GOD! of course, I also didn't decorate for Christmas - inside or out heck, I barely got presents wrapped!

I start the New Year by taking all the decorations down on New Year's Day... its like confirming my determination to be more organized in the future. We have the family over the night before, and we have everything lit up for the party. NY day I'm ready to move on and start thinking about the coming spring! We live in a tiny town in the mountains... and are independant as all get-out... no homeowners association making rules for us!LOL!

Im thinking somtimes next week.. i feel lazy this week[rofl]

Ive never decorated the outside of my house, but i tend to leave the christmas tree up till at least new years. LOL when i was in highschool, i had a 5footer in my room, i left it up, fully decorated with lights, for over a year

I like them and keep at least a week later.I like the decorations, especially Xmas one. And our Xmas tree is artificial one/:-(/, but from other point of view i can have it at our room some more time.

I enjoy having the decorations up and take them down when the neighbors take theirs down. This is normally sometime in January. Last year it was the second weekend of January and likely will be that weekend unless it rains. Several years ago they were up until February because it was raining.

Well, since we don't have a HOA, there really is no rules like that. However, it has always been tradition to take down the decorations New Year's Day. But, the past 2 Christmas' I have taken the tree down and put the decorations away several days after Christmas, since we have had a real tree. As for taking down the outside lights and decorations, since Christmas 2005, it has been a matter of the weather and how cold it was out as to when I take those down lol. When I lived in Texas that was not a factor! lol I was just looking at my tree and inside decorations this morning, and thinking of taking it down. Just haven't had enough coffee yet! lol

we don't have much decorations up so we wont leave them up long probably.
