When is it time to take the Christmas lights down

I Love Christmas but I'm ready to take the lights and tree down but my wife want to keep them up through new years day.

 

Both are correct.

I’ve always done new years.

it’s dark out, I need colours

 

For Outside, I always go with whatever day I am available and it is nice out. I'm not getting on the roof with ice, snow or wind. Inside, it can be whenever the wife wants to take it down. Neither location really bothers me, and I don't really care what the neighbors think.

 

I'd say some time in March.
You got a few months

 

If the tree is real take it down before it becomes a fire hazard. Else take it down when you feel like it (and there is nothing to stop you).

 

Usually mine stay up a total of 3 weeks, first week of new year

 

^^^This.

 

Epiphany.


Or at least turn em off then, and take them down when you're available/the weather is decent.

 

I’m preparing now, we no longer put water in the stand. After it sucks up the remaining water, it will be turned into mulch and returned to Mother Earth in the flower beds.

 

My wife will have ours down by Friday

 

2hrs ago.

I haven't had a tree or hung lights in years.

 

I am in charge of the outdoor lights they are coming down today before it rains again. My Wife is in charge of indoor lighting it comes down when she’s is ready

 

When enough have burned out they start to look pretty bad.

No later then when the Halloween lights need put up. Most times the same time works good for me.

 

I do it after new years

 

If you don't put them up you don't have to take them down.

 

Indoor stuff comes down January 8th at the earliest. Everything has to stay up until after Ukrainian Christmas.

Outdoor lights aren't turned on after the new year except for the 6th and 7th but I don't take them down until spring.

 

This is the way, my Christmas spirit died many years ago

 

My tree will come down in 2 weeks tops..always get nostalgic about having one. The tree will be donated to a local farm for use as animal feed.

I don't do any outside decor.

Our tradition was up the day after T Giving and down NY day or the 2nd.

Now it's up about the same time, and everything came down yesterday.

Full disclosure. We are now in a condo and only do inside accessories. No reason for a real or full size tree anymore. Takes me about 2 hours to haul things in and put up, around an hour to repack and back to the garage.

And yes, I did say garage. As in my own 20x15 with a full door, 9' ceiling and a walk out door on the front wall. Sort of unusual for a condo, but it's the only way I'd agree to move to one.
