When are you planning to take down your Christmas decorations and put the Christmas tree away?

Some of my fellow internet users on this thread typically take theirs down around the week after New Year’s Day. I plan to keep mine up until mid-January, just like last year, since my Christmas break lasts until mid-February, concluding after the Lantern Festival.
Usually New Year's Day for us. It gives us something to do besides eat all day.
I don't have one, but I see a lot of people here with their tree already setup even as it almost a year until Christmas. Humans are weird.
My family has never had a tree. Traveling this year, but even when we don’t, no tree. Though I’ve seen Christmas decorations on people’s houses in the middle of February, which makes absolutely no sense to me.
EDIT: We don’t do Halloween, either. Actually, we don’t really decorate at all.

No need to take anything down when you don't put it up. Seems like the poll needs one more option. 
lol. I thought that. Seems like more people don’t decorate than do.No need to take anything down when you don't put it up. Seems like the poll needs one more option.
Alright thanks for the feedback y’all guys and moderation team! I will update it now to reflect those who don’t celebrate Xmas 🎄 and/or don’t decorate it. I completely forgot about that part.No need to take anything down when you don't put it up. Seems like the poll needs one more option.
Exterior lights usually come down by new years along with most interior decorations. The Christmas tree though hangs out decorated till about 10th when our compost bin gets picked up.
You have a real Christmas tree, right? They don’t last as long as they should, so start removing the ornaments if they start to show signs of wilting 🥀 or if it cannot take in the water. This will depend on when you bought it.
When to Take Your Christmas Tree Down, According to Experts
Read this if you're unsure of exactly when to toss that tree.
If the needles are weak enough to fall off and you see lots of ornaments coming off, you might want to take it down as it can pose a safety hazard. Dump them into the compost bin and pour the water out into the backyard.
