orangedaisy Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 No, but alot of people around here do it.
elena_398 Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I decorate EARLY but take down early too. Usually weekend after christmas
best4less Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Well, we did leave the lights up on our gutters until June lol. They weren't turned on though and you really couldn't see them. We should have just kept them up but hubby decided to take them down. There is a house a few streets away from me that has left ALL their Christmas stuff out since last Dec. In the middle of summer Santa was still sitting on their front lawn. He is still there lol.
mlmatlock Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Nope we take ours down before the 1st of Jan.
TBA Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 yep will admit it we usually are one of the ones who leaves the lights up. We usually take the other decorations down though. Its just easier to leave the lights up. although this year am going to have to pull them down and redo them. some of the bulbs have burnt out and gotta find out which ones or get new ones.
Candy Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Nope, and nope..lol. I take them all down a day or two after Christmas...I rarely even wait until New Year's...for me..once its over..it is OVER..lol.
shanni Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 We left ours up this year, our roof has a steep pitch to it, my husband had to tie himself to the chimney last year just to make sure he didn't plumit to his death. When he came down he said Honey, there's your lights, they are staying up till they rot off the house, I'm never doing that again.
saraczek Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 One year we didn't take them down...BIG mistake...by the time we wanted to take them down our tree grew so big, we couldn't get to them...lol:gd_opera:
firtbird Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 Leave them up until after the 1st. One year left them on an outside tree. The next year they were inside, still worked and looked neat.
angel_parker1999 Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 They come down right after the 1st! If you leave them up, it just sorta takes away from the holiday spirit at Christmas time.
rosegarden Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 They come down after New Years IF they get up outside. Some years they do, some years they don't
erh12275 Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 We won't decorate the outside this year. But when we did...they came down Jan 2nd.
Guest all2tired Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 Lights go up on BF and come down on New Years day
nellyhill Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 No. We start putting them up in late nov and take them down early jan.
treasure60 Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 We take ours down on New Year's Day. But we live near a trailer park with only retired people living in them, anyhow one of them has a tree up in their trailer that is lit up every night! We see it when we go by there.
all4linkae Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 No, all of our stuff comes down shortly after Christmas
copados1993 Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 I turn ours on right after Thanksgiving and take them down mid Jan. I will say though that they only come off in Jan if they aren't covered up by snow and it's warmer than 0!!!!!!! The first year we moved here, I put them out when it was -20 outside. I can't begine to tell you how fast I worked to get them done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :
Jenniferharrison82 Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 I try not to, but I have in the past. :)
BrandyJervas Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 nope we live on base and it's a rule they have to be down by feb 1
