When Do You Put Your Holiday Decorations Away?

It is hard to believe, but Christmas 2012 is done and over with it! We hope everyone enjoyed their holiday with their loved ones!

Now that Christmas is over, when do you take down your decorations and put them away? Do you do it right away or leave them up until after January 1st? If you do leave them up until after the first of the year, how long do you typically leave them up?

We typically take ours down the first weekend in January and put them away until next year. I am pretty meticulous at putting our stuff away and try to keep everything labeled and organized. I just find it better to be organized as it makes decorating next year quicker and easier.

My one set of neighbors that I told you about the end of October last year…put their decorations up right after Halloween and they keep them up until the end of January. I find that WAY TOO LONG of a time period…but each their own I guess.

I would love to hear your thoughts if you don’t mind sharing!
