When is it too late to still have Holiday decorations up?
Jeff Wrangler:
I am beginning to think that perhaps it's not such a bad idea to keep lights up until the vernal equinox. Lights make everything so much more cheerful when it's dark so early in the afternoon or evening.
CellarDweller:
I usually take my lights down the first weekend after New Year's Day. Given that New Year's Day is a Thursday this year, I'll extend it to the second weekend.
Jeff Wrangler:
Well, at home and at work, all my Christmas decorations have been put away--except that I've decided to leave the imitation poinsettias and holly out, possibly through February.
And then at home I do have a lovely live Christmas decoration that will be up as long as it likes: My Christmas cactus is in full bloom. :)
CellarDweller:
Today we 'un-decorated' the office, with the exception of the Christmas tree, which will come down on the Epiphany, which is tomorrow.
My decorations and tree at home will stay up until Saturday, and I will continue to light them.
CellarDweller:
On the way home from work and the gym, I decided to count the number of houses that were still lit up outside with holiday lights, thinking I'd get no higher than 7 or 8.
My surprise, I counted 24 houses.
