Yep, last year many people had their lights up late. This year it was so nice on Christmas Eve I saw a couple neighbors taking some of their lights down already then. That's just wrong!

How's Gracie today?
Gracie is good. She's hanging out in the garage right now. I have the door cracked open for her so she can come & go. She loves the cooler weather. Guess it's too warm in the house for her. LOL She wasn't sure about all the activity going on today - boxes coming & going up & down the steps, sweeper running, etc. I'm almost done so I'll have to play with her soon. How's Har?
I agree - it's wrong! What you are describing is how I think it should be!!!That is just wrong!!
I counted 24 houses in our neighborhood last night, kept my mind off how cold I was!
10 of those 24 still had trees lit up in their windows!
I'll have to take some when I'm done!Good idea!! Post pics!!
LOL - it's a pretty mix/match combination. Many of them were presents from friends. And I love um all!!!Awesome Holiday...can't wait to see your pics

Hold up. Taking down your Christmas lights on Christmas EVE? Umm that's the most Christmassy day of the year. What's the point of putting them up then? That's like getting all your party balloons and hats and 2016 new years signs and a couple of weeks in advance and then putting them all away on Dec 31.
Afternoon All! My first check in of the day. Everyone was gone around here by 7:30am so I've just been working on a myriad of things from work-work to housework.
Tree comes down tomorrow. If I had an artificial one I'd leave it up longer. Everyone's discussion today regarding how many houses still have lights up with trees lit and such made me remember something. When I was a child we had a neighbor across the street who always had her tree sitting curbside for the yard debris pick up on December 26th. It always made me so sad, because where we were from, no one ever took their tree and lights down till some time well into January.
After several years had gone by and I was older, I asked her why and she said, "It's December 26th. Christmas is over. Good riddance." It felt like I was speaking to Ebeneezer Scrooge himself. LOL What I thought was funny was she was such a very nice woman. I always wondered what made her despise the holiday like that.
My son just came home so I'm going to help him with a project he's doing for his girlfriend's father and then he'll be heading out. Bud won't be home till well after 8:30 or 9 tonight. So I'll just keep working on things. LOL We always try to get all of our work things done and out of the way so when we get to be home together - we can just spend time with each other.
Hope everyone has a blessed Saturday. Be safe driving in your snowy conditions. We have thunderstorms today and then finally a cool front tomorrow. I'm so excited!
