Is your Christmas tree still up?

How long people choose to keep holiday decorations up is a hot topic in the early months of the year.

So is there a certain day that's appropriate to take down that Christmas tree?

If yours is still in place, you're not alone! Some people wait until Jan. 6 to take it down. Why? Jan. 6 is the observance of Epiphany, or Three Kings Day, a Christian holiday that celebrates when the three wise men arrived to welcome the baby Jesus with gifts.

But don’t wait too long. Some think it’s bad luck to keep it up after past the holiday!

How about you? Is your tree still standing?
