I usually wait until the day after New Year's to start but it takes a few days to get everything organized and stored well. Are you someone who leaves lights up for weeks? I know when we lived in the North we had to wait for a nice weather day so it wasn't too windy that it was dangerous or too cold.

I didn't put a tree up this year. I moved and haven't unpacked my christmas decorations yet. Next year. But last year and previous years I usually didn't take down my decorations till the day after new years.

New Year's Day or the day after is typically when we take down our tree and decorations. As for the outside decorations, they will stay until we have a decent weather day, as you said, without rain or too much wind. The forecast is saying snow tomorrow, but as long as it's not too windy, we'll take them down.

i like having my tree up for at least a few days after christmas.. my wife took it down a couple days ago but normally we leave it up until after the new year.. anytime in the first or second week of january id say is the norm on taking down a tree..
