When do you take your holiday decorations down and put them away?
We usually have it all done by the weekend after the New Year holiday, although the last year or two, Rick has wanted to wait a while and keep the tree up for another week or so. He will go outside and take all the lights down as soon as we get a decent enough day to do so, simply because if he doesn't get it done right away and then we get snow, everything is buried.
As much as I enjoy the decorations, I like to get them down and get the house restored to (whatever passes for) normal. It seems so bare and it's kind of depressing in a way. But it also makes the house seem more spacious after the trees are down and out of the way.
