I am sick and tired of seeing xmas lights already. They should send Santa back out with tickets for people who keep decorations up, and lit after a certain day.

What day would you consider right?

I'd be happy if they had a service that would come out and do it for you.

In my area, the traditional day to take down the decorations is January 6th...the 12th day of Christmas, or Three Kings Day...lots take them down earlier, but that's a common custom here.

I remember the first time I saw lights left up year round. They aren't turned on till xmas, but they leave the decorations up rather than packing them away to be put up the next year. I thought it was the tackiest thing I'd ever seen. Now, the majority of people leave them up all year round. Lazy, I guess. But then, I don't decorate at all.

The tree and all of the other holiday decorations as well were packed away the day after New Year's here. i can't say the same for some of our neighbors. There is a house across the road that not only still has Christmas decorations displayed in the front yard, but the owners for some reason decided to leave a few Halloween decorations out as well.

Room for one more option perhaps? Each year i can't decide which is more of a chore, putting the tree and decorations up .. or .. taking it all down and putting it all away. Good example of why, when i decorate the tree, i like it to stay exactly throughout the holiday season, as it was the first day it was decorated. The artificial tree we used this year has thin wire throughout, right to the tip of each branch. i used it's flexability as a way of securing every single light, every strand of metallic beads, & every ornament. Nothing on the tree was out of place after Christmas and New Year's had passed. When i decided to take the tree down the day after New Year's, i cursed myself out loud at times for having done TOO good of a job. It took as much time, if not more, to take it down as it did to set it up.

Once it is time, i am more than happy to see it all put away promptly, however, decorating and then having to put it all away is quite time consuming. It always seems like so much work for just a few weeks spent in enjoying the decorations. Next year i may leave the tree decorated and just cram it back into the box 'as is'. Sounds like a good solution to me.

I've taken ours down the day after Christmas the past few year's. By then I'm pretty well tired of the whole holiday. For me it starts more like the 1st of November to get ready. The day after I'm usually home...so no better time.

My son is grown and I am without a Mistress right now(although I am exploring with someone), and have not entertained around the holidays for a few years, so I haven't decorated the last few years.

I am very happy to be able to avoid that stress and enjoy others decorating....BUT, when I did decorate, things were usually taken down the day after New Years day. When others leave them up longer than that it drives me as crazy as seeing the christmas crap out in the store the day after Halloween, when we haven't even had Thanksgiving yet!
I live where it is cold in the winter and have some sympathy for getting out there and taking stuff down. But to leave things up after it gets above freezing is Kooky and I wish people would not put them up if they can't take them down.

I am all for ticketing...YES!
