 If you noticed my other post I just made, you can tell I was bored on the way home from work.  I counted atleast 6 houses with Xmas lights still up and it s almost Feb.  I m glad I didn t put any lights up or I d be the 7th house!
 
 Cheers

 GiffsterI don t have any Christmas lights still up, but I do have a wooden reindeer still standing in my living room and a little talking Christmas tree on the table...LOL
 
 I ve just been too lazy to take them downstairs yet and put them away.
 
 I could hang a valentine heart necklace on the reindeer and then he would be back in " fashion" [;)][:D]....What do you think??

 Giffster#10, Who here in the northeast can " find"  their lights on the front bushes? [:D]  Ours are buried and will most likely remain that way till Spring!

 GiffsterDitto! Ours are up and going to stay up until the temp gets above zero by a fair margin!!! I don t mind the lights, but when the wreaths are still up on Easter Sunday....

 GiffsterWe didn t put the outside lights up this year and I put all the indoor stuff away the day after!  Some of my neighbours still have the out door ones up, looks kinda silly now.  The kids still like to see them though.

 GiffsterOurs are still up but we don t turn them on.  With highs of -11 C here in Southern Ontario can t get DH out there to take them down. [;)]

 GiffsterI m with you Giffster. I didn t put any lights up this year, and I don t have to take any down either. I think I ve started a new tradition for myself.[:)]

 Giffsterlike most the inside lights are put away but the out side will stay up until the snow melts.  However we don t turn them on

 GiffsterOurs are still up and probably will be until it gets a little warmer and until I want to take the time to get them down. Nearest neighbors are about a half mile away. I doubt they care.

 GiffsterI m Guilty.  Still have ours up.  And still lit.  Oldest DS and I have a bet that we will be the last to turn them off.  They are red, white and blue so maybe they will be taken down after Independance Day.  Who knows, it might warm up by then.

 I guess that means ours... (#15 in this thread), will be up til about June or July at this rate!  Right now its  - 47 with the wind chill.  About -32 without the wind!

 GiffsterWe still have orniments in boxes in the kitchen, manger still set up, light-up houses still set up with fake snow, and window cling-ons up!  If I put Christmas lights up, they d be there till we move this summer!!  With all the " fun"  stuff this baby is doing to my system, it s truely an acomplishment if my little boys get out of thier jammies before noon (for me-why bother?!)  Isn t there a saying about keping the Christmas spirit all year long?  Just doing my part!

 Acts 2:38 girl[font=" Lucida Sans Unicode" ]I hate to admit it[&:], but I am with you.  With everything that has been going on, I have not had time to take down any decorations (inside or out).  I guess I will have to find the time to do this in the near and dear future[:D].[/font]
