Enough...

Okay. Yesterday was the last day of February. Today is the first day of March. We're three weeks away from the start of spring, and nearly a month after Groundhog Day. This means it's time to make the yearly announcement, as folks still seem to be missing the memo:

It's time to stop turning on the Christmas lights, people!

That is all.

I live in KY, spent last weekend in a place in IN called 'Bacon Hollow'. Lets just say there is more than a splash of local color around here. Despite that I haven't seen Christmas decorations since January.

Another -1 for MA. You really should consider moving to a free state Jay.

My wires are under like 2 feet of frozen brick snow -- I'll get 'em taken down as soon as I can Jay :).

Those aren't Christmas lights, those are Easter lights!

Hey, my Christmas lights are still up - they're frozen to the porch and under two feet of snow in spots.

I don't turn 'em on now, though!

Yea, considering we've had 7 FREAKIN' FEET of snow since Christmas I'll cut people a little slack this year. If they're up, and ya can't get them down, might as well light 'em up, heh.
Ya know, in December I was a little sad I didn't get around to putting up the lights this year. In January I was quite happy I hadnt. :)

Jay,

I know a way for you to not ever have to be concerned w/ Christmas lights, trees, etc. Convert and become a member of my Tribe. I know a rabbi or two who would be happy to accomodate you.

Jay, if you turn those lights on they may melt their way free...

Jay, you live near Gretchen Wilson or something? ("...and I keep my Christmas lights on on my front porch all year long..." - Redneck Woman)
