Advent and Epiphany anchor traditional Christmas decorating timelines globally. Advent starts four Sundays before Christmas, with many lighting one candle each Sunday leading up to Christmas Eve, when the tree is often revealed. Epiphany on January sixth marks the official end of the Christmas season, prompting a graceful time to take down decorations. Integrating these cultural calendars enriches your holiday ritual, balancing intention and light in your decor timing for a meaningful seasonal experience.
