Some people wait until the new year, but that seems depressing to me. Down goes the tree, and off to work we go.

I take down the tree before the first of the year as sure enough this is a tradition. One says to avoid bad luck in the coming year. However some people leave their tree up all year long and wait way after christmas to take it down. It depends on the person. Although I agree with you it is hard work taking them trees apart.

If you are superstitious, the saying goes. Take it down the day after Christmas if you had a bad year - you don't want to take it into the NEW Year. If you had a really good year, leave it up until after New Year's Day - to take the luck into the next year..
Mine usually comes down the day after Christmas if that tells you anything ... LOL

The day after New Years I want to get started on the New Year why not ? It also doesnt hurt to sit down and take a big deep breath for all the things that has happened and another deep breath from all the work and then to take another to get started on new things to come hopefully good things .

Oh, I keep them till almost end January. I always find it hard to say goodbye to Xmas spirit and the tree and decorations are part of the holiday. I'd like to keep them on forever, an eternal Christmas. Merry Christmas !

Sometime after New Years but before Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Usually the Day after Christmas. I always have that day off so down they come while I have the chance and everything is still in the slow and relaxed mode.

I take mine down the following day. It always looks so bare without the packages under it. Plus taking it all down and cleaning that room back up makes it fresh for the beginning of the new year.

I take mine down no later than the 6th January(the 12th day of Christmas),any later is supposed to be unlucky.
