We take down our decorations on New Years Eve
"And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more."

We always have ours down the day after New Year’s.

I wait until the 6th of January, Epiphany Day, when Christmas season officially comes to an end. I always feel so sad. It's liked I had put up the decorations only the day before. So sad I tell you...

It's a family tradition that it is bad luck to have the decorations still up by up by January the 7th, I don't know if this based on a more widely held superstition.
So it's up on December the 15th (my birthday) and down on January the 6th.
