Who leaves them up year round?

Damn, the Christmas Decoration Police is really making a crackdown lately. Better hide those candy canes I have lying around on my desk.

Candy canes are fine, no citation for you.

Ew! I didn't put them up.

I know, I'm so embarrased. I make fun of people like that.

Still have the candy canes but no decorations...took them down b4 New Years Eve cause someone told me way back when that it was bad luck to have them up after the New Year....as for those candy canes...they taste good year round!!!!

my outside Halloween lights are still up

Christmas decorations are to stay up until the Epiphany which is tonite.

Our outdoor Christmas decorations are still up because it has been icy and freezing.

I'd say that on the first fairly warm day we'll take them down, but we've left them up all year before.

All my Christmas decorations disappeared last Saturday. I feel all of it should be gone before New Years day...

Usually I take our Christmas decorations down the first weekend after New Years, but this year I took them down New Years Day.

I think I'll take them down early like that every year from now on.

I still have my Nativity Scene outside.

I usually use real people instead of statues, see,
& what happened this year was that , instead of hiring actors like I always do, I decided to save a few bucks & employed some illegal immigrants instead.
Between the fact they I got lucky enough to find people who are actually named Mary, Joseph & Jesus & the fact that they work for so little, I decide to keep 'em "up" til Valentine's Day.
Plus,
I'm thinking of using the baby Jesus (that's pronounced "Hey Suess", honkies) as a Cupid.

well luckily I live in Florida so I do not have to deal with bad weather. Any Floridians taking them down today will be sweating in shorts.


I understand the ppl that live in the snowy icy climates - I can see that but there is NO excuse here in Florida not to have your stuff down by now...
