After. It bad luck to have any Christmas greenery indoors come the start of the new year. All wreaths, mistletoe, poinsettias, etc. should be gotten rid of as well.
The supersition has something to the spirits living within the greenery.

Christmas Tree Superstitions

I believe that superstition holds some truth. I was too beat and partly lazy one year to take my tree down until about a week after New Years and we had a string of pure bad luck that didn't seem to have an end. So yea take the tree down before New Years.

I don't believe in luck myself. I feel it's a blessing when people think they have "good luck". I guess it shouldn't matter when you take the tree down. I take my down as soon as I can because I have a small living room!! Just when you have time after cleaning up. Merry Christmas by the way to you all..

Not superstitious. We've always taken our tree down the day after Christmas. Usually because we go out of town on the 26th or 27th until after New Year's.

I think you make and believe in your own luck, live how you want and take down your tree if it is what you need to do. You being unsure of this really says you do not need to follow in others footsteps. It is just a tree, big deal, your spirit of xmas is whithin you. Happy new year!

Luck is superstitious and doesn't have anything to do with when you take down the tree. It's Murphy's law that's the blasted thing. "Anything that can go wrong, will!"

If you are christian, you should not put a christmas tree up anytime of the year. "Thus saith the Lord, learn not the way of the heathern, for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, they deck it with silver and gold, they fasten it with nails, that it move not." Most people can not accept the written word of God, even Christians.

That's news to me! I knew of a family who kept their tree up until the beginning of Lent.
Luck? I don't think that it plays into it.
