The Holly & The Ivy

One of the odder things about Utah is that nearly everyone has all their decorations, including their tree, down the day after Christmas. Most of our neighbours already have their stripped trees on the curb this morning. When I lived in California and B.C., most everyone left decorations up till New Year - or Epiphany, as the case may be. Though we didn't leave it up till then on purpose, just laziness [g]

So now I'm curious - when does your regional area normally take down the tree and such?

Most people here tend to take down their Christmas decorations on New Year's Day. Some of us wait until Epiphany (in our case it's deliberate). However, that said, we took down the hedge lights today - but that was in memory of the year we couldn't get the lights down until April because the snow never melted until then.

(OTOH, most folks also seem to put up their decorations on Thanksgiving - it's possible that they're sick of them by Boxing Day.)
