When do you take your decorations down?

I just read 2 post stating they keep their Halloween decorations up all year.

And one post suggesting we all keep our current decorations up all year long but add the appopriate props from the other holidays throughout the year (ex dressing our zombies in Santa outfits)

We do our party at a friends house so we have to set up on Friday and Saturday and take down on Sunday.

When the party was at our house I kept our decorations up until the second weekend in November

I take mine down on Nov. 1st, but I leave the fall decorations up until after Thanksgiving. I like to keep the three holidays (Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas) separate as much as possible. I want to be able to enjoy them.

Mine all come down November 1st. I would love to keep it up a little longer but DH is usually over it and starts taking things down without me!

Mine come down after the second child comes by. lol Actually not long after. We put our stuff into the garage as soon as the children are done for the night. I stretch it to about 9:30/10pm. There isn't many children in our area but, our house is the place to visit. When they are done, we pack it up and head to bed. Then the next day I start to dismantle and pack away stuff so my hubby can have his side of the garage again. :P

That is what we do too...I don't have a bit of decor outside come November 1st. All the indoor stuff will be put away on Sunday.

Then....it is bringing the tree out and put up (but not decorated ) because we are going on a cruise Nov. 20th and not back til Dec. 1st. Whirlwind of holiday decorating!

My stuff is coming down Sunday. If for no other reason, I need to get my lawn mowed. LOL It is so tall I have to keep raising the bones I stuck into the ground. And I lose my poor little dog every time she goes through the cemetery.

So Sunday morning, I will be out there taking down all our hard work.

Back when I was decorating, I took my stuff down after the last kid came by. Around 1 I think. Got to sleep about 2/2:30ish. Id also set it up same day. Luckily my parents were really cool and let me take off school Halloween to set up my props.

I'm right there with you. My front yard has not been mowed since the first weekend in October.

Night of, the animatronics and built stuff comes back in (only out there while we're there that night).

Next day, it all comes down.

I have Monday off, so might get a little lazy, but most likely it will all be down and packed away before then.
