Why do people keep their (outdoor) Christmas lights up well into January? Is it not enough that you get an entire month (at least) *before* Christmas to celebrate the birth of your lord and savior? Do you REALLY need another two weeks *after* Christmas too? I mean, I get a couple days after Christmas, maybe even up until New Year's, but that should be the cutoff. We do not live in a Christian theocracy (yet), you already get PLENTY of time for holiday cheer, take your fucking lights down.

The 12 days of Christmas go to Jan 6. Which is the traditional celebration. The rush to have it all up by Thanksgiving is celebrating the shopping season.
ReplyDeleteI like the lights up still in January because it makes leaving in the dark and coming home in the dark suck just a tiny bit less.
