Traditionally by the 6th of January, your Christmas decorations should be taken down.
The twelve days of Christmas are drawing to an end. Hopefully your Christmas and New Year celebrations were blessed and happy. The 6th of January marks the last day of Christmas and is the day of Epiphany or Twelfth Night.
Also know as Three Kings Day.
And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshipped him. Then opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.
Mathew ii,11

WOW That is very interesting. I never knew that. Thanks for the history lesson. I always take my Tree and stuff down on New Years Eve so I start off fresh and straightened up the 1st day of the new year. *LOL*
Thanks
