I put up my tree on or around Dec 1 and take it down New Year's day or the day after.

I feel that any more than that and the tree and decorations become less special.

I lived in Manila and the decorations go up on Sept 1 and stay up until the end of January. Christmas music is played in the malls and stores for four months. By the end of November it's just another day. By Christmas is nothing special.

One month makes it special.
