One of my friends has his dog dressed up like Santa Claus. Apparently this is the doing of one of his young daughters. And it looks like Santa Dog hasn't visited the laundry for a couple months.

 

This is absolutely unacceptable behavior. No, I am not taking a pic.

I've kept the outside lights up all year round in my old apt. told the gf I wasn't taking that crap down.

The christmas lights usually come down in may/june.

Ah no.

Yep, taking them down tomorrow, thankfully, you can't tell that they are up because they match the landscape.

They come up right after thanksgiving and come down about halfway through January. They'd probably come down right after New Years if I didn't complain about how much of a pain in the ass it is to put them up/take them down. ...Plus I'm the one that has to do it!

Why take them down, when in a year, I'll just have put them up again? That's gonna take another 2 minutes of my life away....

I don't hang up christmas lights, bahumbug

Methinks Scrooge has the right idea.

Idiot across the street is going on 3 yrs w same lights :/

Looking into switching to LED strip lighting for xmas lights. Small enough to blend in under the gutter against the rake board. If it hides well....i will not take it down. But yes...seeing icicle lights hanging from homes in spring time alters my perception of the homeowner.

Most of them are down...

honey boo boos family takes the lights down

I take them down the 1st week of jan, the wife reminds me... This year with the storm i was the only one on our block with lights up.. i even purchased a tree early to help the wifey cope with the destruction.. That was a big boost to move in a positive way for us..

I'm confused.......I'm supposed to take them down??

Leave 'em up all year and change the bulbs to match the season. Like the Empire State Bldg does for occassions...

Stopped doing it 5 years ago myself. I really miss those cold days and nights and the numb fingers. NOT!

Happened once around 30 years ago at my parents house. Even as a young teenager... I got fed up and took them down since nobody else would. They never went back up...

Can't say I ever had that problem....

No festival of lights love mcbethr??

The wife takes off the lights right after the new year, that's what happens when you live with a neat freak.

 

But if it was up to me i would leave that crap all year round.

We avoid the whole Christmas Light question by not putting any up...or a tree...or wreaths...or garlands...or decorations of any kind.

Since selling our too big house and downsizing I convinced the wife that to simplify means to simplify everything and she bought it....so we travel during Christmas as much as we can and when we can't,I put electric candles in the windows and call it a day.

Ahhh Freedom.

Well, this weekend came and went, guess they will be up until mid spring with all of the snow we are getting!

What an unbelievable idea. They sell LED light strings that you can program to a spectrum of colors. I saw them at max is a back. Wait. Wait, lets write a phone app and control them via wifi. . Christmas, green st pats, pastel colors for Easter, r+w+b for July fourth, orange for Halloween add browns thanksgiving. Then we're back to ho ho ho.

 

Put 'em up once. And you can do it in nice weather.

 

Ka-Ching

 

 

 

I just saw a truck the other day with a hose and antlers on. I wonder if its the same guy?
