For the work of putting up the decorations, I keep them up for the "Twelve Days of Christmas".
So that means through until the 6th.
Depending on where that falls in the week, and what is happening in my life,
they may come down on the 5th or a few days after the 6th.

with a real tree we would put up about 2 weeks before and take down before/on New Years. Fast forward 3 years with an artificial tree--this year we put up a week before and once DS's family leaves on New Years we'll start taking down stuff--may take 2 days to do it though! One thing I want to do is sort through all the decorations we no longer put up and st aside for kids to go through and either they take or I donate to charity. I'm hoping to declutter the basement in 2018

We haven't put up a tree in a couple of years. However, when we did, we left it up until sometime in March. Both my husband and I liked having the cheery lights on during the dark winter months in Wisconsin and Minnesota. (I should add that we would always procrastinate putting the tree up, so it usually went up the day before Christmas Eve!)

We leave the tree up until after New Year's Day. I am always appalled when I see a Christmas tree on somebody's garbage pile the day after Christmas... and even have seen them thrown out later on Christmas day! Sacrilege!
