Default Re: When do you take your Christmas decorations down?

If I had a Christmas tree up and lights outside around the house, I would have put them up Christmas Eve or the day before that, and they would all come down the day after Christmas. However, I don't have any decorations up this year, so I don't have to worry about putting them up or taking them down.

I think, it comes from years of living in Bronx tenements where fires would ravage apartments caused by Christmas tree lights and I have always been frightened of that.

Saying that however, I have always been Bah! Humbug! about Christmas so I wonder if the above isn't just an excuse.

IMHO
