I'd call it being proactive

I've always heard it was bad luck. But I think that's a bunch of bull-hockey if you ask me.

Your arms and legs will fall off and you will regret it always! Don't do it! Nah, take it down whenever you want.

I think people don't take it down quickly b/c they spent too much time putting it up. Then they are too lazy to take it down soon after Christmas.

I've never heard about it being bad to take a tree down before new years.

I put my tree up on the 15th and I take it down on the 27th always have. I do leave the outside lights on till after the Russian Orthadox Christmas. Since there are so many on my island, and the russian influence is very strong here so out of respect I leave them up till around the 20th of January.

I don't think it is so much of a jinx but was more of less as a tradition to leave the tree up till after New Years. Kinda like a celebration as you see the old year go out and the New Year begin. Myself I have always taken mine down after New Years Day.
