For many people around the world who keep up with religious holidays, the Epiphany (January 6) marks the end of the traditional Christmas celebrations. For others, the end comes only on Candlemas, after both Christmas and the season of Epiphany. These people typically keep their holiday lights up to these dates, although there is no rule about this.
We are not supposed to take down Christmas lights on a certain day; it all depends on each one`s personal beliefs and preferences – and it should always be this way.
Many of those who are not religious unplug holiday lights and uninstall decorations in the first days of the New Year. If they feel too lazy, or want to keep feeling festive for a while, they leave them up for longer. In some situations, there are some other factors to consider, however:
The energy costs
Holiday lights are lovely and most people cannot imagine holidays without them, but it is good to know that they will increase your energy costs. The increase depends on the amount and the type of lights you use, however, they will add up some dollars per month to your electric bill.
Your neighbors
In general, it is good to respect the general rules of your
neighborhood. If the holiday season is over but you would still like to keep
your Christmas lights on for a while, ask your neighbors if they wouldn`t mind
to keep seeing them during the night. Indoor decorations and Christmas lights should come down earlier, especially is you have a real tree that is drying, be sure to get your vacuum to an Arvada vacuum repair shop prior to cleanup to pick up all that glitter and needles out of your carpet.
