I doubt we will put out Xmas decorations this year.

It rained heavily last night and there is no guarantee that it will stop. I was thinking of putting them around December 17 as we always do but with rain we will be on tenterhooks specially the lights. This will be the first year that we will not have decorations outside. I want my peace and not tension. What if it rains in the night?. Have you ever not had Xmas decorations any year?

No lights outside this year. The government asked to everyone not to waste electricity.

No such rules here but it is the rains that will stop us from putting them out.

@allknowing - They also have put up the Christmas tree in front of the Town Hall, but no lights during the night.

@LadyDuck That shows your country is truly going through an economic meltdown

Nice that you can do that every year. We too do not do decorations anymore since we are just a small family and I think we really are not into decorating Christmas nowadays.

If the weather was predictable they would be out there.

We do not have as many lights outside this year as we typically do. Some years there is just not time to put them up while the weather is still good, that is what happened to us this year.

Sometimes one has priorities when it comes to using ones available time.

I always have at least lights out. You can buy outside light strings so the rain wouldnt matter.

We already have them and I am not sure if they are rain proof.
