When is it too late to still have Holiday decorations up?

Can somebody explain to me why people would put green lightbulbs as the "flame" in an electric "candleholder"? ;D

I like stringing out the white lights the first week of December. With darkness starting so early this time of the year, it's a nice pick me up. It's brings extra "warmth" to the house.
I tend to bring out other decorations as the month of December progresses. I don't like fresh evergreen in the house too soon as it tends to dry out quite fast and become a hazard.
There's always some new decorations I buy. You know, some ridiculously overpriced candlesticks at POTTERY BARN or other places like that.
I take down my decorations on January 2nd. A month is long enough.

and hear I though pottery barn was just a made up store from friends.. but its real!!!

In the UK, it's bad luck to have your decorations up after Twelfth Night. The only question is ... what is Twelfth Night? According to my book, the first night is on 25th December, which means that Twelfth Night is 5th January. So all my decorations come down on the 5th! However, a lot of people still think that Twelfth Night is the 6th (near enough)!
But I don't want to talk about taking them down ... I haven't even put them up yet!!
