This is a bad title for the section.

The type of person who has an inflatable snowman is not the same as the typical person who puts up christmas lights and wreaths.

It also doesn't seem to define the end of last year's winter holidays which means some people are going to assuming very different dates for the start which is enough to mess up the week and month data slots.

This probably isn’t a problem. This is a survey so people are reporting when they took the decorations down with reference to their own perception of when the holiday ended.

It’s just that the graph isn’t about the specific date that decorations are removed but how late people are comfortable leaving the decorations up with reference to when they view the end of the holiday occurred.

Yeah, the way I determine when to take down decorations varies based on the decoration. Some are christmas specific and others are just seasonal for winter.

I do NOT have inflatable anything in my yard. White lights and natural wreaths outside, christmas tree and ornaments inside.

The tree and ornaments get taken down within a week. But the lights around the house can stay up through 'winter' and any natural pine wreaths can stay up as long as they look good. Typically taking them apart in mid February.
