So, in my neighborhood I have two other houses on the cul de sac with my house. What is great is all three of us love to decorate for holidays! But, my one neighbor whose house is right next to mine doesn't understand that after you put up holiday decorations you one day need to take them down! :-)
I decorate for the fall on September 1st and those items stay up until the weekend before Thanksgiving when I then decorate for Christmas. You'll notice I said I decorate for FALL not Halloween. I decorate with pumpkins (not jack o'lantern's), leaves, etc. If I did decorate for Halloween I would put up those decorations no earlier than October 1st - but that's just my personal opinion. Anyway, my neighbor put up his Halloween decorations in early September. Okay, whatever...like I said, that is just my personal opinion. However, he did not take down his Halloween decorations until DECEMBER 1ST!!??!! What the heck?? That is 31 days after Halloween! About a week later he put up his Chrismtas decorations. When we saw him outside hanging his Christmas lights I gave a heavy sigh and said to Ryan that I bet his lights would come down around January 27th. I wish!! Today is February 10th. Christmas was 47 days ago. Not only does my neighbor still have up his Christmas lights but HE STILL TURNS THEM ON EVERY SINGLE NIGHT!!! If he was just lazy and left them up without turning them on then whatever, I'd just write that off to him being lazy...but he still turns them on 47 days AFTER Christmas!! What the heck??
But wait, it gets better. He now has up:
---colored Christmas icicle lights hanging from the roof of his house (I'm not sure if you can tell but they are lit in this picture)
---a Valentines day flag hanging near his front door
---AND on February 10th he also has up a wooden bunny "Welcome" sign for Easter. EASTER...which is 53 days away!!! WHAT THE HECK? I love holidays and LOVE decorating for them (at the appropriate times!) but my neighbor is driving me crazy!
