Well err  .... Mr Google says "YOU MUST take your decorations down by Twelfth Night (which you will recognize by the fact that your true love will have sent you twelve whatevers doing something-or-other). Otherwise, you must leave your decorations up till Shrove Tuesday, when you take them down, burn them, and cook your pancakes over their flames." 

So, errr ....  err ...  John,  it depends ....

It's traditional to take Christmas decorations down at Epiphany (yesterday).

But in the liturgical calendar the season of Christmas actually ends at Candlemas (2nd of February) so you could argue that the Santas could remain until then

To be very pedantic . .
I looked at my R.C. Missal and found that, back in the day before Vatican II
-- the Christmas Cycle has 3 parts
-- part 1 is Advent
-- part 2 is Christmastide, which ends on the first Sunday after Epiphany
-- part 3 is the season after Epiphany which ends on the 6th Sunday After the Epiphany
