Christmas is now well and truly behind us and it’s time to take down the tree and decorations. But exactly when you take them down can be a very personal matter – some people might take them down right after Christmas, while others leave them up longer.

There is no “right” time to take down the decorations, but traditionally it happens 12 nights after Christmas, known as Epiphany Night or Epiphany Eve. This is considered the end of the holiday.

Officially, this day falls on January 5 or 6, 2024, depending on whether Christmas is counted as the first day or not. Some people may be tempted to leave the lights up even longer, although this is generally considered an “unlucky day.”

No matter which camp you belong to, let us know when you think you should take down your Christmas decorations.

This poll is now closed. Check back on Friday for results and analysis.
