Wait—hold your eggnog. Some people take them down on Candlemas, February 2nd. That’s a full forty days after Christmas. Why? Because in medieval times, Christmas lasted until the presentation of Jesus at the temple. Very holy. Very long.
This is also the same day as Groundhog Day. So you can de-angel your living room while a rodent predicts the weather. It’s the most chaotic multitasking you’ll ever do. I’m not saying your plastic reindeer can see its shadow, but if it does, you’ve got six more weeks of holiday guilt.
Real talk: Candlemas is for the hardcore procrastinators who also leave their Halloween skeletons up until Thanksgiving. You know who you are.
