Is it bad luck to take down your Christmas tree before or after New Year?
It depends on what you believe. With most people seeking good luck or maintaining it, they just don't want to risk it. Personally, I take my Christmas tree down on New Year's Day.
Some people just like to look of the tree in all its splendor of colors and hate to take it down.
If, for some reason, you will be away, and your tree is extremely dry and a fire risk, just take it down. It really doesn't make much difference.
Happy New Year!

What is the history of gift giving?
Gift giving has been a staple of human society for centuries. In ancient cultures, tribal leaders would give one another gifts in exchange for peace, protection, food or just simply to maintain the status quo. In the ancient Roman culture, people would exchange gifts during a celebration held during the Winter Solstice which occurred on the first day of January. The gifts were originally evergreen branches, and later developed into cakes, to symbolize prosperity and sweetness in the coming year. As the centuries have progressed, gift giving tends to be more closely associated with holidays or special occasions although it is still used much in the way the ancient tribal leaders used it: to maintain the status quo.
