I usually take mine down mid January, but I think this year it's going down this week so I can continue my cleaning/organizing and this will help me feel good!
We didn't do outdoor lights or a tree this year. The only decor I bothered to put up is a winter wonderland mittens piece and a window frame hanging with two snowmen that were personalized. I figure those can stay up for a bit still.

As soon as possible after Christmas. I don't know why, but I feel like it's sitting there...taunting me like a to-do list. I took everything down a few days ago.
I usually try to do it on 12/30 or 12/31 to start the year without that on my to-do list. This year it is still up. At the latest, it will come down Saturday, but I'm hoping we do it sooner.
Usually sometime between Christmas and New Years we take everything down. But we usually have a real tree and it starts to drop needles shortly after Christmas.
While we are taking down those decorations we just take down everything else.
My husband takes it upon himself to take everything down a few days after Christmas. I told him this year it's something that makes me fall in love with him allllll over again each year. That may be one of my least favorite things to do ever.
