My neighbor is outside right now taking down Christmas lights off of her home. I just thought, at this point, why bother? They have been up for the past 10 months!

Well, I am Jewish so we don't put them up but it seems like the families who do take them down just after new year. I can't believe someone leaving them up until now and will be putting them back up in like 8 weeks?! What was the point of that? LOL LOL

That's just lazy.
I usually take things down a few days after New Years day.
The Only exception should be if you celebrate 3 Kings Day. (on January 6th), Then I would say by January 15th the latest.

Mine come down sometime in February. One time my parents left their's up all year and next Christmas my dad flipped a switch and they were on again. We still laugh about it.

I put out a ton of lights that take about 2 months to set up. I do not start taking down until Jan 1st (as I display up until the 30th). But, it takes me two-three solid weekends to take down everything and even longer to get it packed up and stored.
I try to have everything down by MLK day and packed by stored by Groundhog day.

Traditionally, for the tweve days of Christmas, starting Christmas eve.
(You know the poem, 'The Twelve days of Christmas':
"On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
a partridge in a pear tree...")
