Christmas Decorations: Is It Time They Come Down?

When do you remove Santa from the front yard: January or July?

 

Is it too early to take down the Christmas decorations? 

Some families traditionally take down their holiday decorations on New Year's Day, while others wait until much later in the month and much, much later, too. 

On Tuesday, the Christmas trees that were placed next to everyone's green bins full of wrapping paper made it apparent that many people had spent the long weekend cleaning up and gearing up for a new year. 

On Facebook, we asked users when they plan to take down their decorations. A few agreed that the first week in January is a good time to pack it up for the year and another user expressed his frustration that stores have long since packed up everything Christmas related and are already pushing Valentines Day items. 

But we want to know, When do you think Christmas decorations should be taken down? Yesterday? February? July? Never? Tell us in the comments section.
