Looked at your Christmas tree on the 2nd of January, and thought how sad it looked?
Its needles falling off, revealing bare twigs, its not so shiney tinsel, that lean it gets towards the fire.
Nothing worse than a bare tree, that once stood so proud.
Ah well........BOOM.

Most people usually take them down in early January. 
Traditionally, it is taken down after the 12 days of Christmas are over, or the day after Epiphany.
The Epiphany.
Christian tradition tells us that Jesus was born on December 25th but the Magi did not arrive in Bethlehem until January 6th.
January 6th is the Epiphany, sometimes called "Little Christmas" and is the day the Magi met the new born King and presented him with his royal gifts.
It is explained to children, and some adults that If you take down your lights before January 6th, the wise men may not be able to find their way.

The problem of trees shedding needles, when to take them down etc is alleviated by not bothering in the first place - bah humbug to the max
When I was a kid Christmas decorations, the tree etc always came down Jan 6

Taking it too seriously:
Our family tradition agrees with Wikipedia; Traditionally, the Twelfth Day is the last day for decorations to be taken down. It is seen by many to be bad luck to take decorations down after this date, i.e. 5th January.
