How long do you leave your Christmas lights up? I took mine down today, and am already regretting it - I do so like those coloured fairy lights...

String them along the corners of the ceiling of your bedroom. :wink:

My son has the multi colored ones in his room, I strung them up with those small command adhesive hooks so I can take them down and replace them easily when they burn out...the fairy lights are especially cool.

I'm thinking the led fairy lights for my room. 8)

Holiday lights should be taken down as soon as the holidays are over, which is 2 January.

Agreed. If they're left up for too long, it's just tacky rather than festive...

I have candles on my window sill and I once again keep them there as long as possible. They offer just the right lightning.

I'd probably never take off the decorations if it was up to me. If not for procrastination, it makes me feel empty. Though I'm not sure if I could make myself decorate anything in the first place.
