Overview
- January 6, the Epiphany or Three Kings Day, is widely observed as the moment to remove trees and décor, marking the close of the Christmas season.
- Common alternatives include January 8 to complete a month from the December 8 setup, the first Sunday after Three Kings, or February 2 for Candelaria in some communities.
- Coverage stresses there is no strict rule, with households deciding according to tradition, schedules, and how long they wish to keep the festive atmosphere.
- Dismantling the tree is framed as a small domestic ritual that brings emotional closure to the holidays and signals a return to routine.
- Practical guides published today offer space-saving storage ideas for small homes, while some outlets cite belief-based advice from Feng Shui or tabloids about clearing decorations after January 6.
