Officially, Christmas are to be left up until Little Christmas which takes place on January 6th. This means that the date we take down our Xmas decorations is January 7th.
We always took them down on New Years Day. Jan 1.
In Japan, the shops are covered with decorations from early Dec, on the 24th of Dec people "celebrate" Xmas by eating chicken and cream cake with strawberries and then on the 25th they take down all the decorations and put up the new year ones. Apart from the small minority of Christians (who usually celebrate on the nearest Sunday to the 25th) in as much as any one does anything for Xmas it is the 24th of Dec that people celebrate.
Traditional Xmas tree decorations are stars, lights, candles, balls and bells. One could make beautiful Xmas tree decorations by combining the traditional decorations.
The Xmas Decorations are All over the bin...You do have clues though :D

Before Xmas eve we decorate the bottom of the tree with holly. Then on Xmas eve-eve we put some candy down. Then, only on xmas eve, do we put down the presents along with the holly and candy.

January 7th is when the Christmas tree and all the other decorations get taken down. January the 6th is the Epiphany and is the day that marks the end of the Christmas season, so the next day is when to take everything down.
There are many places one can purchase an inflatable Grinch. They are available at sites such as Best Xmas Inflatables, Do It Yourself Christmas, Inflatable Christmas Decorations, Amazon, and eBay.
No Way, Christmas is bigger here than in the US, commercially wise, since they don't celebrate Thanksgiving, the xmas decorations go up after Halloween. Since the religion is buddist or Shinto they totally take the Jesus perspective out of the equation and only use the day for consumerism.
