I used to leave everything up until Epiphany. 
Then I realized that I loooooooooovveee my Christmas tree! and the lights! and the decorations! until the day after Christmas. Then it magically turns into visual clutter and I get twitchy for there to be less stuff.
Now I leave the candles and the wreaths.
