Are Your Christmas Decorations Still Up?

Christmas 2015 is a distant memory.  So, is the tree and the decorations down and packed away or do you keep yours up after the new year?

You could be like Gretchen Wilson's Redneck Woman and keep your "Christmas lights on all year long", or you may be the type that once the presents have been unwrapped and the family has left the house you're boxing up everything and packing  it away until 2016. 

According to different surveys, there were a few people who said they take down everything Dec. 26, most said they wait until after New Year’s Day. Notably, many follow the 12 days of Christmas tradition - that the first day of Christmas is Dec. 25, not Dec. 13, with decorations coming down on Three Kings Day, or Epiphany.

The day of Epiphany is Jan. 6, and cultures around the world celebrate on the night before or on that day. Many customs include taking down the Christmas tree, a treat for children as they are allowed to eat the goodies laden on the tree or underneath it.

Whatever your tradition, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
