I wait until after the new year.
With it taking so much prep to put everything up, I like to enjoy it through new years.

I agree ...you're crazy!

But when I have a tree...December 26 is the perfect day!

We went Fake Tree years ago. Take it down when we feel like it usually around the 4th of July :action-smiley-035:

The Saturday after New Years. This year might be a week late, but I will unplug them the Saturday after New Years.

One of my kid's birthday is on the 27th, so when they were little we took the tree and all decorations down on the 26th so they didn't think there are two Christmases. LOL. Now, Mrs. Rogerthat likes to leave everything up until after the 1st. If it was up to me, the Christmas tree would be out in the driveway by 11am on the 25th. :D

Tree and outside lights through new years day. Tree kicked to the curb for recycling and lights wound up and back in the rafters with the ornaments and house decor.

Starve it of water now, take the lights and decorations off, then it's nice and dry for the New Years campfire and makes everyone warm for about a hundred feet wide 😷

We throw the whole tree out, lights, ornaments, the whole enchilada lol

It takes us a while over here...the lights have to come down off the house...the house has to be taken down and some furniture has to be rearranged...plus this year is the last year for the fake tree we have been using for the last several years...have no decided yet whether we will go back to real or fake next year..time will tell...so usually the weekend after New Years is the target to get it all done....

Too funny.
The outside is my job, inside the wife's.
We got a real tree this year for the first time in 5 or 6 years. The fake tree just wasn't gonna cut it this year. Not sure if we're going real tree or fake next year.
Normally be up until after New Years but probably be done and gone this weekend.

Everything comes down the day after. Outside lights come down after new years.

Ours will come down this weekend only because the trees this year were dry. All the decorations will be put away the weekend after New Years. The lights on the house will come down whenever the guys come to take them down.

All that is left is the lights along the roof line WMC has to do that when he gets home. The inside is cleaned and all put away!!
