We enjoy confusing the neighbors...

Winner! I hate taking them down as much as putting them up, so I'm not in any hurry. And the tree - that friggin' 200lb. artificial monster is such a PITA that I'd rather throw a sheet over the fucker and leave it in the corner all year long. Wife usually leaves it up for at least a month, and turns the sumbitch on every night too.

Got lights, tree, etc. all down today. It was a great Christmas this year for us.

I stapled the crap out of my house... not looking forward to the takedown! dreading it actually! It seemed like a good idea when i put them up but now im thinking i should get a stapler puller!

House looks kind of depressing without all that stuff around.

Nah. But it does look a little less like winter time at my place with all the holiday stuff put away. Until you step outside. Then you remember it's not quite spring time yet.

A number of years ago my mom got nets of lights that she could put out without help from my dad. Usually he'd still put up the ones on the gutters et al, but he was so busy repairing US-34 that he wasn't able to do so, so my mom's lights were the only ones out there.

As for me, well, the Condo Ass'n doesn't normally allow things to be hung on our balconies. I think there's an exception for Christmas lights, but I was too lazy to put anything up anyway (except for some in my room, but I'm leaving those in as a way to have just a bit of light but not too much).

Took mine down today. Another successful year using duct tape to hang the icicle lights from the gutters....I really need to remember to buy plastic clips (in my defense I have looked for them twice and they have been sold out).

We don't put lights up, but we just took the tree down yesterday if that counts???
