And there zooms another Christmas season by.  Our Christmas tree has been taken down and all the decorations boxed up.  The lights are still up outside however.  I had intended to unplug them on January 1st, but one thing led to another and here we are on the Eve of January 11th and still going strong out front.  We are not alone though.  We drove by a house down the street this evening and they still have their Christmas lights on full display accented smartly by multiple flood lights, several decorative Ungulates festively, yet tastefully arranged, as well as their Christmas tree fully lit in their front window. How long can that lunacy go on for?  No telling really, but I am hoping for mid to late February just for the entertainment value of it.
