When can I put up and take down holiday lights?

Winter holiday lights and decorations can go up no sooner than Thanksgiving Day. They must come down by January 15th.

For other national holidays, decorations can go up no sooner than thirty days before the holiday. They must come down within five days after it.

That is a summary in plain words. The passages below are what the documents actually say, and they are the authority.
