When is the Proper Time to Take Down Christmas Decorations?

Christmas is over, I noticed some people on my block have turned off (and possibly taken down their Christmas Decorations). Which leads me to this question….When is the Proper Time to Take Down Christmas Decorations. According to Good Housekeeping, “Dating back to the fourth century, many Christians have marked the end of the Christmas season on the Twelfth Night (or 12 nights after Christmas) — an evening also known as the Eve of the Epiphany.” The Epiphany marks the day the Three Kings (or Wise Men) visited baby Jesus, and is either celebrated on January 5 or January 6 (depending on whether you count Day One as Christmas or not).

Here’s what Good Housekeeping has to say.
