(a post by the Dusty half)
I had the opportunity on Saturday to take down the Christmas lights and decorations. They hadn't been on since the 20th of December since we were on vacation. When we returned, we decided that since it was almost New Years, we wouldn't plug them in. However, across the street, the neighbors have been turning their lights on well past New Years Day, which makes me wonder, are they celebrating a birthday? An anniversary? An ancient family tradition? When should be the official day to take down Christmas? Some people take theirs down a day or two after Christmas, as in the Challis family :), others wait until they can pester their husband on New Years day right in the middle of a bowl game..... So, I pose the question. Should there be an official holiday in America for taking down decorations? England has Boxing Day. I THINK that means that they box all of their decor up. What do you think?

I think that one year it took me until Jan 31 to take care of all of my Christmas stuff. So, I am pretty flexible with people's taking down of their lights. They shouldn't turn them on past New Year's, though. Just to be nice.
