Is it too early to have Christmas lights up?

[snoochie]

I just couldn't wait.

[spinbaby]

1. Yes.

[GOPisEvil]

2. I usually go with the day after thanksgiving...but who's counting?

If your lights make you happy, then that's a good thing.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

3. HECK NO!!!

The only reason we don't have ours up is Mr. Moonbeam gets a bit pissed off a premature Christmas ejaculations AND our daughter's birthday is coming up and I try to focus on that so it isn't lost in the Christmas stuff.

But if it weren't for those two factors, I'd have mine up now.

[snoochie]

7. Yay!

On my way home from work I drive by houses with theirs up, and the premature decorations got to me. Also the radio stations are playing Christmas music... and it's only a few days till Thanksgiving...

I couldn't help myslef!

[Droopy]

4. Nope

My mom decorates her house every year around Thanksgiving. I saw some people doing the same in my neighborhood just the other day.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

5. That depends

Are you just stringing them up, or are you lighting them up?

I never flip the switch till after Thanksgiving. It just seems too weird to me.

[snoochie]

9. They're on now.

I don't think I could have them up and not light them. I have very little self control. ;)

[Lone_Star_Dem]

11. Well then, since it gives you pleasure

FLIP THAT SWITCH!!! :) :)

No harm in it if you enjoy them..

6. Husband was outside putting up lights today.

Not to mention making me verrrrrrrry nervous with that extension ladder.

We won't turn them on until after Thanksgiving, but he wanted to get a jumpstart on getting the lights up. We have more yet to put up, plus the wreaths.

[Cerridwen]

8. I think I'm gonna do mine during the Thanksgiving break.

If I can borrow a tall enough ladder.

Let's see, lights, check, staple gun, check, ladder, hmmm, "hello, mom, can I borrow your ladder for a couple of days?"

:P

[fugue]

10. Oh, go ahead

Waste even more energy. Make Bush and his pals even more oil hungry. Who cares? They're pretty.

Yeah, lots of sarcasm. Sorry, but I think it's a terrible, frivilous custom and should be stopped until such time as we're on renewable energy sources.

[Optimus Primestein]

12. Oy! Yes it is!

We get 8 days, certainly, but how many menorahs do you see that stay up longer than 8 days? You folks, you get the one day, and you go and make it a massive 3-month orgy for the electric company. Some things I'll never understand.

[snoochie]

17. I doubt a few strings of icicle lights eat up that much energy.

And besides I have a HE washing machine and conserve in other ways.

[Optimus Primestein]

18. I'm yanking your chain, bubbie!

You celebrate how you wanna, when you wanna. The electric company people gotta eat, too, you know?

Shalom!

[BrainRants]

13. Up North

Here in Green Bay, WI we take advantage of the few warm days before the white stuff arrives. Ours have been up for two weeks, but the lights don't see a plug until December.

Put 'em up, and you have my permission to leave them up until July, or until Martha's jailtime is up, whichever comes first.

[tx_dem41]

14. YES!!!! 'Nuf Said.

[Skittles]

15. YES

it's like we skipped Thanksgiving and went straight from Halloween to Christmas

[Hans Delbrook]

19. It's like we don't have Thanksgiving anymore

We have Christmas Part I. Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas and believe everyone should celebrate the way they want (lights when and where you want) I just miss Thanksgiving in it's proper "Glory."

[Lady Effingbroke]

16. My neighbors never take theirs down.

Saves a lot of work, I guess! :P

(I'm too lazy to put up Christmas lights - I just enjoy looking at everyone else's lights!)

[DemWitch]

20. Lights are up, lawn is decorated

tree is up and decorated, house is decked out, all waiting for Thanksgiving night. All the lights and lawn ornaments are on timers, so at exactly noon on Thanksgiving I plug in three heavy duty extension cords and at 430pm... *POOF* it's a Griswald's Christmas Extravaganza.

Neighbors were kind of making fun of my Polar Bears and Crystal trees amidst the gravestones of Halloween for a few days...

[Spock_is_Skeptical]

21. I still have my Halloween lights up.

Orange and purple strands of lights, plus my pumpkin lights.
I just can't take them down yet, not yet I say!!
