The Best Date to Take Down Christmas Decorations

Even if you don’t celebrate Christmas, Christmas decorations are such a lovely way to counteract the gloominess during the time of the year when the weather is cold and the days are short. They are so lovely that many people keep them up way beyond the time they should.

When is it too soon to take Christmas decorations down?

Any time before January 6 is too soon to take Christmas decorations down.

The days between Christmas and January 6 are days to search for light in the middle of darkness. It is auspicious to keep Christmas decorations and lights on during this time.

What is the right time to take down Christmas decorations, for Good Feng Shui?

January 6 is the day when the Three Magi or Wise Men are said to have arrived at Bethlehem to give gifts to Baby Jesus. In some countries, this is the day that children get gifts and many cities have parades showcasing the Wise Men so children can see them arrive. Until this date, the Christmas season is still on. For this reason, January 7 is the first day when it makes sense to take Christmas decorations down.

Any time between January 7 and the beginning of the Chinese New Year is a good time to be done with Christmas decor. As the beginning of the Chinese Year is not on a set date, but fluctuates between the end of January and the beginning of February, usually mid January is a great time to do this.

When is it too late to remove Christmas decorations?

If you keep your Christmas decor up until Valentine’s Day, you have definitely gone too far.

It is auspicious to give every holiday its own time to decorate and celebrate. You need to have a break between Christmas and Valentine’s even if you don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day, because most of the people around you do celebrate this holiday.

“But I want to keep my Christmas tree up year-long!“

Many people claim that because they love Christmas it’s OK to keep the tree out all year, or at least the Christmas lights, because they so liven a place.

It’s true, Christmas lights do liven up a space, but only when they’re on. When they are off, what you see is a tangled mess of wires.

A Resistance to Change that Works Against You

Persisting on keeping Christmas decor and lights on display beyond the season shows an inability to accept the changes that come with the natural cycles of the planet. This affects your ability to be int he right place at the right time. In other words, it makes you less likely to recognize or take advantage of opportunities, which is the basis of good luck.
