I hate taking down Christmas lights

We live in Michigan and I hate the cold and the dreariness of winter. Christmas lights make things a little cheerier. We put up white lights on the exterior of our home this year and I would love to leave them up a little longer - just call them "winter" lights. lol But I know DH will never go for it, and I suppose some people would think that's tacky. We have one evergreen tree in our backyard lit up with white lights - I think I'll campaign for that one to stay just a few more weeks. 

For some reason, I'm ready to take down the indoor Christmas stuff, but I want to keep those outdoor lights! Either that or move to a warmer/sunnier climate! 

Re: I hate taking down Christmas lights

  • Indoor stuff is coming down tonight, tomorrow and Monday.  It will take me that long to organize it all and pack it up.  We have one extremely long string of lights along the bushes in front of our house (like 100 feet lot or so).  I think I can get my DH to take it down...but not in the next week since we are totally in the deep freeze here in Michigan.  My computer for our town says 9 degrees and that doesn't not take into account the windchill.  Brrrrr. 
  • I haven't even started to take down the xmas stuff yet...I'm dreading it. Lights, and all!!

  • I took all the interior stuff down this morning and I never put exterior lights up.
