When is it too late to still have Holiday decorations up?

Well, not everything. The tree is still up. :-X After getting everything else down and neatly packed I decided it was enough work for one Sunday. We'll see about the tree. :)

Putting Christmas stuff away always seems like so much more work than getting it out. :(
CellarDweller:
Yeah, it does!

Is it just me, or are more people decorating for Valentine's Day?
I've passed numerous houses with red lights around windows or doors.
quite a few have had shape outlines in windows.
Even inflatables are starting to show up on yards.

I decorate for holidays when it's darker earlier. I will put out lights (orange, green & purple) for Halloween, with a light up jack-o-lantern and bat. For Thanksgiving, a set of orange lights goes up, with light up turkey forms. Christmas gets multi-color 'twinkle' lights and a tree and wreath. February gets a string of red lights, and heart forms in the windows. St. Patrick's Day gets a strand of green lights and shamrock forms. Finally, Easter gets pink lights, and a set of egg forms.
At that point, it doesn't get dark until late at night, and I'm in bed by 10:00, so there's no point to put up lights, to only have to turn them off an hour or so later, so no red, white and blue lights for Independence Day.
