There are some houses in the neighbourhood with Xmas lights still up, but for the most part, they're all taken down. The City of Hamilton ITSELF hasn't taken down its big garland-esque banner they put on the wall of the escarpment that says "SEASON'S GREETINGS HAPPY HOLIDAYS"...

My family doesn't have a typical pattern of taking down decorations, but I think my mom always does it just before all us kids ship back off to school, which has been just a day or so after new year's for the past couple of years.
