I don't know that there is a official take down date. However we have always put ours up Thanksgiving night and take them down January 1st. I enjoy them being up until New Years. Just a tradition that we have always enjoyed and stuck with.
Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.
Status- Standing by.
The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -
We always take ours down the weekend after New Years. So that's what I'll be doing Saturday.Central Valley CA One large egg One chocolate lab "Halle" two chiuahuas "Skittles and PeeWee"

I tried leaving them up year round, unfortunately tree trunks grow and I had to cut them off the next year after they had pulled a few wires and stopped working. I'm sure my wife will remind me of this come Saturday.

Usually we do everything New Year's Day, but this year the tree came down last weekend, mostly because my wife got a new rug for the living room and we had to get the tree out before she could pull out the old and put down the new.
I'll deal with the outside lights this weekend.LBGE

I let Mrs 'roo handle all of the interior decorating and she likes them down 12/26. She undecorated the tree and has had everything else put away since then. I finally got the tree taken apart, boxed and put in the attic yesterday along with an outdoor wreath we use.Greenwood, IN | XL BGE | Weber Genesis | Blackstone 28 | bunch of accessories

my tradition is to never put them up someone puts solar xmas lights out front out on an island, they come down in the spring when the ice melts, works well enough for me

As soon as it doesn't rain for a couple days in a row and is after New Years. Probably Sunday here.

They come down on 1/1 for us unless I have a really bad hangover. Come to think of it, usually after 1/1.
