It’s Still Looking a lot like Christmas
January 19, 2011So I’m sitting here waiting for one of my programs for work to reset and release the hold so that I can get back into it. It takes 15 minutes, so I wander out to the car to grab my glasses (don’t ask), and I pass the Christmas tree on my way out and in. The realization hits me. Our tree is still up. Our Christmas decorations are still up. Are we the only family who still has our decorations up approaching the last week of January? I go to the door and peek outside. I see that the neighbor still has Christmas lights on his house, but that’s understandable because the weekends have been rainy lately. But if they are rainy then that would mean we would be inside. *Gasp* I can’t see inside anyone else’s house, so I can’t confirm indoor decorations. It’s not like it’s a difficult task. Just take down everything, pack it in labeled boxes and heft it on out to the garage or the attic until next holiday season. I guess I’ve started my task list for this weekend. *lol*
Do you have your decorations still up? How long is acceptable for indoor decorations? Outdoor decorations? Or are you just too embarrassed to share?

I hate it when stuff slaps me upside the head like that! We were out of town until Jan 1st, but the inside decorations came down Jan 2nd. The outside stuff is still up because it’s been under 3+ feet of snow since before Christmas…
