Ryan Seacrest asked Twitter the eternal question: When should you take down your Christmas tree!?

Well, historically trees are dumped on the Jan 5, aka the Twelfth Night of Christmas, and my mom always told me it was bad luck to have them up after that. But maybe she just didn't want me complaining about the Christmas tree disappearing! I did not like that and maybe threatened to call Child Protective Services about it. Related: I was and am a monster.

However, WTF does my mom know!? After all, she's not *the* Queen of Christmas! *The* Queen of Christmas is, of course, Mariah Carey, and of course, Mariah Carey knows the best day for taking down your Christmas Tree: July 4!
