I just put a few twinkle lights up that will take about 5 minutes to pull down and toss into the closet.

Epiphany - Jan 6th. That’s aka Twelfth Night, the traditionally-believed night the Wise Men arrived in Bethlehem. Christmas lights are part of the symbolic light of revelation of the birth of the Christ child.

Here Is Wikipedia’s answer and it shocked me.

In medieval times, Candlemas eve (Feb. 1st) marked the day when all Christmas decorations, including the Christmas tree and the Nativity scene, were taken down. However, the tradition of ending Christmastide on Candlemas has slowly waned, except in some pockets of the Hispanic world where Candlemas (or La Fiesta de la Candelaria) is still an important feast and the unofficial end of the Christmas season.

More on Candlemas
quote:
Candlemas, also known as the Feast of the Presentation of Our Lord Jesus and the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is a Christian Holy Day commemorating the presentation of Jesus at the Temple. It falls on February 2, which is traditionally the 40th day of the Christmas–Epiphany season.
quote:
On Candlemas, many Christians (especially Anglicans, Methodists, Lutherans, Orthodox and Roman Catholics) also bring their candles to their local church, where they are blessed and then used for the rest of the year.

12th night for everything but the tree. It’s going to become a Mardi Gras tree this year.

When Dan Conner (Roseanne) put up a bunch of lights, his neighbor commented that it would be a lot of work to take them down.
Dan replied, "Well, you have to have something to do on Easter weekend."
