Christmas Lights
Isn't it time to turn them off? I love the holidays as much as the next guy, but this is freakin' ridiculous! Someone on my street still has them turned on on January 30th. Is ther some rule of thumb for this?

Pathetic! I have to stare at my neighbors icicle lights all year long as they can't take a ladder and 10 minutes and take them down!!!! It kind of ticks me off to have to look at them as the mercury hits 95 degrees in August!

you guys are right on the money with this one. It also takes away from the special time frame of the holidays.

Christmas lights should only be up fro the day after Thanksgiving until New Years Day. Both are days that most people have off from work.
Seeing Christmas stuff starting in October through Valentine's Day is maddening.

JD, go to Pulaski and fish the Salmon RIver, they keep them up all

else do they have to do?  |

WTF! The people on my street finally took down their lights last weekend. Tonight, I'm driving through Canton and not only do I pass 3 houses with lights on, the town still has the trees along Washington St. downtown lit up. It's almost Easter!

One of my neighbors just took down their lights from christmas.
Now, from about 6pm on, their entire front yard glows green with St. Patty's Day lights.

i'll make them special outdoor black light bulbs
and then paint a huge psychedelic jimmy hendrix poster
on the barn door 
that will make my neighbor's real happy. |
