When Do Your Christmas Decorations Come Down?
Some say they remove their decorations before New Year's Day while others wait as long as the Epiphany.
Are the stockings still hung from the chimney with care?
Traditions for removing Christmas decorations vary among Chesterfield and New Baltimore families.
According to answers on our Facebook page, some households are sans Santa decor by New Year's Day while others keep their holiday cheer up into 2012. Christians who celebrate the Epiphany are waiting until Jan. 6 to take theirs down.

Patch reader Mindi Steffens wrote that she doesn't take down her decorations until the Epiphany because "that's how it always (was) growing up in my house, so I carry on that tradition."
Meanwhile, Tina Harden Stephens said her decorations are removed before the new year, stating "anything after that is considered bad luck for the new year. Ours will come down Friday evening."
