Are your Christmas lights still up?

I hear ya, and understand exactly what you are saying. The one that I had seen, which started this discussion, was in a really expensive neighborhood as well. I don't see anything wrong with keeping up Christmas decorations. To each their own!

Great positive attitude that you have towards these decorations. I was just throwing this discussion out there to see how everyone would respond....I love it. Everyone has had such a positive attitude. That's one of the reasons that I love myLot~!

Hiya kykidd, Perhaps they get some comfort out of it seeing the lights and all that like for some it maybe a Teddy Bear hidden out of sight so no one sees it or something else for this person it could be that Christmas Tree and it´s very pretty lights it could be a cure for their blues state of mind too. Who knows?

Hey there Zoey, and thank you for your response in this discussion. I guess if we get a kick out of these things, then the neighbors are doing their job by keeping us happy. LOL I know it's been a while since your response, sorry it took me so long. Things have just been really hectic. Thanks again, and have a wonderful day!

That is pretty unusual to have the lights still lit, especially this late in the year. I guess they just really enjoy them.....LOL Either that, or they don't know what to do with their money so they like donating it to the electric company. 8) Oh no, now I'm being ornery. It really is good to know that there are people who can stay in the good holiday spirit all year round.

Well here it is March 14th... Their lights are still up. AND on. Last year I think that they left them up and on until April Fool's Day. I wonder if they're going for a new world record?!

I'm not sure how long I have left my Christmas lights up outside. I used to decorate the outside of my house every year, but haven't had a chance to that in a long time. But, we usually got a break in the weather and I would take them down. Though, there was one year I wasn't in the best of spirits, and I left my Christmas tree up until the second week of February. I didn't even put my tree up that year. My mom came up, and put it up while I was at work. I finally got up the energy to take it down after a few months. Glad I am not in that state of mind anymore!

I know a lot of people who ended up keeping their trees up later this year. I'm not sure if it is because of the day of the week that the holiday fell, or what it was. We did get quite the storm this year on New Year's Day. So perhaps the reason they would have left their outdoor decorations up was because of that.

It's just to cold to take down outdoor lights right at this time and we wait till about March or April of evry year to take down outside lights. The bigger decorations do come in and are put away but the lights are not on anymore and it's not hurting them staying up until the weather gets warm.

It is definitely too cold right now to be outside trying to take down Christmas lights. We are expecting more snow this week, just about the time the other is almost melted. LOL

Oh my goodness, I think the cats were a good enough reason to take the tree down. They can find themselves quite comfortable, while destroying your tree. Glad to hear you have yours taken down already. Happy myLotting to you as well!
