Crazy Christmas People

At what point — after all the Christmas festivities are over and the new year has begun and the holiday season is officially over — do you become that crazy family that still has their lights up in July?

Matt and I decided we'd leave our Christmas tree up for another week or so. Mainly because I am too darn lazy to remove all the ornaments, take it down and stick it in the attic.  It's pretty! I'm kind of torn whether mid-January is too long to leave the festive decorations up.

But then I think of my own parents, who keep their (undecorated) Christmas tree set up year-round in my mom's home office. She calls it her "forest tree." (If you knew my mom, you'd just think it's funny, even though it is a little crazy.) This is normal for them.

(And their next-door neighbors had their outdoor Christmas lights up for like six years straight when I was younger.)

How long do you leave your Christmas decorations up? How long after the new year is too long?
