Tree and inside decorations go up ~ December 1 and generally come down in early January. Partly due to us rarely being home the week after Christmas and partly due to it just not feeling right to take them down so early. Neither my wife or I are Ukrainian but grew up in a small town with a larger Ukrainian presence where Christmas/New Year was stretched into January and we're just used to seeing Christmas decorations up well into January. This year it also just doesn't feel right to take them down with half the house in isolation and miss it.
