Who still has thier holiday decorations up? Jerry and I drove through our neighborhood last night and counted 4 Christmas trees still lit up in people's windows.......
Nothing wrong with that I guess if your happy with it.......there are times when I wouldn't mind leaving mine up all year around.....it's very pretty and when you watch TV at night and turn out all the lights, except for the ones on the tree, it's very soothing.........

For me, I took mind down the day after New Years.........

ummm, NOPE.

Our tree was down on boxing day (dec. 26)
all decor down the same day.

We don't use outside lights due to the hydro, plus we never think of putting them up untill its frozen out LOL


Some of my neighbours leave lights up all year round, but don't turn em on.

Quite a few people still have their outdoor decorations up because we have had snow on the ground since Christmas.

Well........I don't put any up. But if I had, they would likely still be up


There are people in my neighbourhood with lights up still.

Just last night my friend and I drove by a house whose lights are still lit, along with a large plastic nativity...all lit.


I almost made a comment about another apartment with lights, but then realized they were Valentines lights, complete with cupids.

Ours come down the second week of January (largely due to the fact that that is the last pick-up week where the city will take Christams trees away to tme mulched). My outdoor lights are still up, though and probably will be until April or so since they're frozen in a large block of ice to my eaves.

we did not even put any up this year.. so none to take down!


I do have a little white tree up in the nursury.. I thought it would be cute to use it as a decoration for the baby shower and put little pink things on it.. I found tiny pink christmas bulbs.. and also actually found little baby ornaments shaped like teddy bears, bibs, rattles, etc! I left it up in the nursury. Makes a good nite lite!

My ex mother in law left some of her Christmas decorations up all year long...

Santa Claus was pretty faded after a few years of living on her roof!

I took all my decorations down the weekend after Christmas. But I do still have a couple of snowmen decorations sitting on the kitchen counter, and a garden flag outside with birds sitting in a tree wearing earmuffs.

Over the river and through the woods...
Our indoor decorations are down, but the boxes are still sitting in the middle of the dining room waiting for DH to carry them down to the basement. I refuse to carry anything larger than groceries down there because the steps scare the crap out of me.

Our outdoor decorations are still up because of all the snow and ice we've had this winter. We have 6 of those lighted reindeer and high winds and weather have knocked them all down so now it looks like a reindeer slaughter!
I'm glad we live on a dirt road so not many people see it!

i took down most of the decor at school [i don't decorate at home] after the Christmas break. the only thing still up is the snowflakes on the door - i figured they were still appropriate, given that it's still winter.

We just took our tree and the few decorations we had down last week. LOL Not b/c we liked them that much or anything, but b/c we are completely lazy. We left the tree up (a real tree, so you can imagine the mess) b/c Nora liked it so much. We finally took it down b/c we had pine needles EVERYWHERE in our house. Nora was always covered in needles also, b/c she slept under the tree.

We drove past a house yesterday that still had Halloween decorations up. LOL
