even at that point I've wanted to get rid of it for days, but felt like I should wait until New Years.

And couldn't wait.

Although, today when my son saw the tree going out with the trash he said "Daddy bring my Christmas tree back in the house"...and I almost wanted to do it. Lol

That's when it was done when I was young and growing up in Louisiana. The tree was removed on that night. It was a tradition that ushers in Carnival/Mardi Gras season.
12953312, when is that?

12953314, Duuuuh! It's when you start ordering them KANG CAKES!

Just kidding...

It is the 12th night after Christmas. The night when, as mentioned above, the Feast of the Epiphany pops off.
