up or take it down?

One holiday tradition for me is that I have to have a major home clean up in anticipation of friends coming over. Forget the annual “spring cleaning”- I have Holiday cleaning! Nothing motivates you more to clean up than having a bunch of guests right? Anyway- attached is a picture of a variation on my centerpiece. I had to downsize it because we were having a ton of food on the table for a recent get-together.
Now that Christmas is officially over, and I have this last week of 2008 free- I’m wondering if I should put away all my holiday decor now- like tonight- or wait until after the new years? What do you guys normally do?
