People Actually Leave Christmas Decorations Up Until February?!?

It’s that time of year when we all debate when to take down the Christmas decorations — and gripe about the neighbors who seem to be taking their sweet time . . .

Exactly how long do you keep the decorations up?

There are a lot of people who make an effort to take down the decorations between Christmas and New Year’s Day so that it’s over and done with and they go into the New Year fresh, while others will keep them up until the weekend after January 1st.

However, there are some people who want to wake up on Valentine’s Day and still be seeing their Christmas decor.

Right?!  Who does that?!???!!??

Apparently, 2% of people — according to a new survey.

Those folks wait until February (or even LATER) to tear down the holiday leftovers and get on with the rest of their year.

When broken down, it looks like 10% of people between 18-24 say they’ll leave their tree up for at least another month . . . while 0% of people over 50 wait that long.

On the flip-side . . . 4% of people admitted to ditching their Christmas tree and decorations ON Christmas Day!
