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?

My mom's birthday was December 1st, so growing up, when we had the artificial tree, we would put the tree up the first Saturday after her birthday.

We always took it down the Sunday before school started - some years that was as late as the 6th or 7th of January.

When I was in college, and we were putting up a real tree, I always tried to take everything down just before I left - it didn't seem fair to leave her the mess of the needles when it was my idea to get a real tree :D

This year I'll probably take my tree down next weekend.
