    I am bushed, it took me 4 hours to get all the lights down, organized, and boxed up for next year's display.

    Honestly, I love how the house looks during Christmas, and miss it the other 11 months out of the year.

    Everything is so lit up during the holdiday....sigh.....11 more months to go...

    a person of your wealth and status should not have to put up or take down their own lights... that's absurd

    you're doing it wrong

    You know what's sad is that I was Target today and they've already got a ton of Valentine's day stuff out. I'm longing for the day when stores will be free of any holiday stuff.

    I completely agree. Being busy this year, I didn't really have time to get "into" Christmas and wish it wouldn't go away so soon.

    We celebrate Christmas in December but Jesus was likely born in July or August. So I think you should be able to leave you lights up until then. :D
