Does anyone still have X-Mas decorations up?

Believe it or not some houses I passed, this weekend still have lights up and .......lit.

We honestly, just took our roof lights off yesterday! They haven't been lit since New Year's Day, but it has been such a rough winter here in PA., I wasn't about to push DH into taking them down!!! It was in the upper 40's yesterday so it was the perfect time to do it!! Now.....I have a neighbor at the corner who still has a Christmas wreath on their front door!! Wouldn't be so bad BUT it WAS a living wreath at some point in time...now it just a bunch of dried up brown pine needles!!

Decorations are down, but fibreoptic snowman is still up on purpose and 1 string of lights in our sunroom is still up. I asked DH twice this past weekend to take them down, but they are still there!

I just took down my door wreath this week, put my Dept 56 Dickens village and snowmen away this weekend. However, my lighted reindeer as stick stuck in the ice in the front yard. So need to have it thaw more before I take them down. However, they aren't lite anymore.

Outside still out there, frozen, but not lit.

We have our icicle lights up, but we only put them one once for my daughter. It's a pain to take them off and on. We don't live in a neighborhood also and people can't see them from the road.

Still have 1/2 the outside lights up..They are on the higher part of my house...Wasn't in the mood to take them down when I took the first 1/2 down...

This is such a funny post because I was thinking the exact same thing this weekend - I was amazed at how many people still had elaborate decorations still up. I mean elaborate and still fully lit. I guess I hadn't noticed it till now, but the first signs of spring appeared this weekend and it set my mind in motion as to how long is too long for Christmas decorations. One of the best ones had lights everywhere but they also had their air blown huge lit snowman fully inflated too. Doesn't that require a lot of electrical power to keep that thing inflated all the time plus have all those lights going?

I totally get everyone here's reasons for not taking their decorations down yet - its darn cold out there and I certainly would not have wanted to go out and tear down elaborate light work - but to all my neighbors who are still lighting the sky with their incessant holiday cheer - enough is enough - bring out the bunnies and easter eggs.

I braved the elements in the 2nd week of Janary and took all my lights down....

it was colder than all heck...but...they came down ok...

the roughest part was getting my 8 foot inflateable Santa out of the snow and ice...the snow was piling up all around him, so it was like he was in a snowhole...so frozen that he is stil on the porch thawing out...

I have told DW and the Grandkids we are taking him to FW with us in December and he wil be part of our campground decoration.

I still have my lights on my bushes but they haven't been lit since the first of the year. It has been so cold here and I've been so busy with my DS and his hockey that I haven't gotten a chance to put them away. Maybe this week as the weather is suppose to get a little warmer.

Hurray, spring is just around the corner!

No Christmas decoraction up, but, I just brought in a couple Halloween decorations yesterday, that I forgot were out there!

 

[BrerMama]

I collect snowmen so I usually put them up when I put up my Christmas decorations. I put them away this weekend. I hate to only have my collection out for a month, so I let them have 3. I was getting really tired of looking at them, though.

There is a house in the next block that still has all their Christmas decorations still up. No snow or cold weather here, so I'm not sure why they are still up. Oh well...

Where me and shep work, they still have lights on the trees and a huge christmas tree in the shape of lights on the building still up. My neighbors still have lights on their trees.
