WHAT,, it's christmas, first i heard

Whenever we can be bothered to take it down. Could be Jan 1 or Jan 30th depends on when we feel like it. The only thing we used this year was the tree, which didn't go up until 24th Dec anyway, so who knows when I can be bothered to take it down.

Ours usually come down on or around the 12th of January. They look so beautiful up, so why not enjoy them a little longer.

Sometimes leave the decorations up until Ukrainian Christmas Jan,7 which was also my husbands birthday.

I took ,mine down a few days ago. One of my elderly neigbours in a unit was getting confused with the front doors as we had identical door decorations

The weekend after the new years

First week of January.

As I've got plans for the weekend, I took mine down today, but normally it's on the 5th January.

12 days after Christmas

I take it down after 1st of January, it looks like family, and friends get a chance to see it more!🥰😍

jan 2nd

6 Jan

Definitely straight after Christmas to start off the new year afresh

I am living on my own but every year i make a lot of christmas decorations for my family which I enjoy doing and it is surprising how they mount up. They usually take the trees down around the 7th January. when they get back from the break they take at around New year Edited 03-Jan-25 21:01pm

I have just taken mine down today🌲

5 January

Such a beauty to be packed away January 1st. No way. February 1st is much better.

we take them down after 10th January which is is Russian Orthodox Epifamy

The same here

Agree! Same here.

My Mum always used to say the decorations went up 10 days before Christmas and had to be down and away by the tenth day afterwards. I am not sure why as she never said. I actually don't put up decorations anymore as it is just me here. I do however put a Christmas tablecloth out and other Christmas stuff like ornaments and doilies on the coffee table though.

New Years Eve. I have a thing about not bringing the old in to the new.

We stopped with the Christmas decorations 40 years ago when children were teenagers, we found that money was better spent NO LINING the pockets of the western Oligarch billionaire

We don't have that problem because we don't celebrate Christmas but apparently there are 12 days of Christmas which means January 6th is the last day so perhaps the decorations should stay up until then. That was my mothers belief.

I don't have a tree but I do put some decorations up and a few lights and bits and pieces out side on Christmas Eve and take them down on Boxing Day

Not before Jan 6th Epiphany we celebrate the twelve days of Christmas December 25th to January 6th all decorations stay up until then and then we do Chinese Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras that last until St Patrick's Day and then Easter and so on

I like to put my Christmas tree up 10 days before Christmas and take it down 10 days after Christmas.

Whatever works for your household, ours started to be packed away on Christmas day after no one wanted to know that the tree was still there i.e. after lunch, and the kids already had gotten their gifts that was back when we were still in our old rental, not sleeping in my parents lounge room 99% of our decorations haven't been seen nor used in 4 Christmases due to them being in our storage unitEdited 03-Jan-25 18:08pm

26th of December

We don't put any up unless the Grandkids are coming.

We like the sight of Christmas tree, all the decorations, so we leave them as long as we had have enough...no set date.

Up on Dec 1 for the 4 weeks of Advent and down on Jan 6 (the 12th day of Christmas)

My family have a tradition of putting Christmas away a week after New Year, as it give friends and family, who haven't had a chance to catch up, but still want to, the opportunity.

Don’t put any up anymore. Not worth the hassle . Doesn’t feel special anymore Edited 03-Jan-25 17:10pm

I have to say New Year’s Eve

Going by tradition they should come down on 12th night which is the feast of the Epiphany 6th January

My Christmas decorations come down January 2nd. I doubt I will put them up next year. Not worth the hassle.

7th January, as per our family tradition, 1 day after my birthday

Since mine just went up Christmas Eve, I will wait awhile. Since I used a small Lavendar bush for my tree though, I need to take the lights off of it and put it outside soon so it can get enough sun to live.

I January

When you are feeling enough after New Years Day.

I never really knew when the 12 days of Christmas started so, to be on the safe side, mine go up 12 days before (13th December) and come down 12 days after (7th January). This has become my tradition.

twelfth night, 6 January.

No they're down by 6 Jan

Well since we do not celebrate Christmas we have nothing to take down and that is nice. Lots of stress avoided. No need to store them or replace them either.

No particular time

I always take them down between Christmas an NewYear but I was told the date you take them down is the 6th of January because that is 12 days of Christmas. Oops!!

I was always told 12 days after Christmas ... or it can cause bad luck. Haha not sure if true but grew up believing it.

didn't put any up in the first place

I was told they should come down 12 days after Christmas

1st week Jan or thereabouts

Sometime during late January.

In 1989, I was in the hospital, and my mom and stepfather took them down in February or March! Usually, shortly after New Year's, they come down. I don't have many so it doesn't matter to me. This year I want it all to be over!

I usually take mine down after the 1st, but this year I took them down on the 31st.

January ish

They go up on December 1st and come down on January 1st

We took our xmas decorations down 01/01/2016. Never went up again lol

It's up - then down in no time !

January 2nd

2nd of January

By the end of January

Yep ours are down, creates more space

Im the same around the 1st of Jan

When I get the energy so some are two days later and some are left forever and just turned off 🤣

I didn't have any last year (this year?). though I noticed my Partner put up a little tree with some lights near the sink. So she will take it down when she wants to I'm not allowed to touch it.

We didn't have any up as we went over to see the folks and we had a few things on the table and they were packed away straight after lunch as Mum and I played scrabble on the table and we needed the room.

I don't put any up.but those who do . you need to take that stuff down on the twenty sixth of the month all that wasn't necessary did have anything to do with the birth of Christ

when ever i have the energy usually after new year

Many Christians remove their Christmas decorations on Epiphany Eve, also known as Twelfth Night, which is the last night of the 12 Days of Christmas. I have grown up as a Christian and see no reason to change.

Old New Year.

Jan 6 week

I never put any up - easy!

A couple of days after….the cats love to help….lol

boxing day cant wait to clean up

As Christmas starts in the shops in October why not put a tree up then and enjoy the approach to the festive season and take down just before life goes back to your routine .

A week after Christmas

6th January, after 12th night.

1st or second doesn't matter.

Who cares

6th of Jan. But the big lawn ones came down yesterday as the lawn needed mowing.

After Epiphany

No please

Due to hard work of Christmas decorations 1st of January decorations Fall to category of "z".Edited 03-Jan-25 08:46am

Whenever I feel like it. Usually any time after 1 January and before I return to work.

6th January

6th Jan as per tradition.

European Tradition used to be to take them down after the 6th January when the "Blessing of the Waters" are performed .. still stick to that but prolong it a bit as they are so pretty and brighten up the place! Yes, maybe I am just a big kid at heart!

14 January

We use a foot tall ceramic tree with a light bulb under it, and plastic colored “lights”, that the light shown through, and this year we put it up on the 24th, and took it down on the 28th. As a child, our fresh tree always went up after the first week of December, and was taken down on New Years Day.

Yep. It saddens me when the season is over but I do believe one should clean up after the party first thing the morning after...no later.

Tradition is take down on 12th night which is 5th Jan.

I always take mine down on the 1st January.

I live by myself Don't do decorations or Christmas Happy New Year everyone

Didn't put much out. Outside decorations put away yesterday.

Took down 2/1/25. Not many up

mine is still up

We don't put any up.

love to decorate our house with lights and have a real Christmas tree which we put up early december.My Husband usually takes the lights down around the 2nd week of January

It is up to you. I used to visit a lady who never took her Christmas tree down at all. P.S. it was full of dust. Yucky.
