What's with the Christmas lights?

CdnRottieMom · 07-26-2007, 07:53 PM

There is a neighbour down the road from me who still has their Christmas lights up and turned on at night.

A little earlier tonight, the kids and I went to the grocery store and came across another neighbour's house a few blocks over who also had their Christmas lights on. Don't know why but I glanced as I was driving by in their back yard and they had these two huge Christmas decorations. One was a snowman and the other was a polar bear and the lights were turned on them.

You couldn't miss it, I have some weird neighbours. Either that or they must really really really love the Christmas holiday.

I agree, a lot of people in the surrounding neighborhood (None in mine) have their x mas lights turned on at night, and I think its because they are too lazy to take them down, and put them back up again when its Christmas again. But why turn them on? lol...thats what I always wonder.

Ok I can totally understand leaving the lights up, cause they are a pain to get up in the first place. But I have no clue why they'd get turned on either, or why they'd leave decorations all over the place.

So yes, you do have some strange neighbours! LOL

Christmas in July?

One of my favorite radio stations W.N.I.C. 100.3 from Detroit was playing Christmas music last week.

Did I miss an e-mail or news notice?

Not that I want to put up lights again. Once a year is enough.

A friend of mine was given 2 to 3 months to live. She knew she would not see Christmas and was so looking forward to it, especially with new grandkids and son-in-law. Her family decorated her home inside and out and had their last Christmas together.
