Lights & decor go up December 12- you know: 12 Days of Christmas. They come down on January 6- again, 12 Days of Christmas. Chanukah stuff goes up on Night 1 and comes down after Night 8. The Festivus Pole stays up all month.
We used to do that when the kids were little. Now that they’re over 40, not so much. Besides we have ended up traveling over the holidays a lot of years so it’s not really like we’re going to be around to see them much.
You already asked this.
@yakkoTDI, they must’ve really loved the responses.
@yakkoTDI No, I asked, I have neighbors who started before Halloween
@lonocat Darn it! I misrememberated who asked.
@yakkoTDI
I have cats, and can relate.
@lonocat @yakkoTDI
Strangely enough, back when I had pets, the cats never once took it down,
The dogs on the other hand , . .
I don’t celebrate holidays, I find it makes life easier and less stressful.
I put mine up when I get one of these:
@IndifferentDude Thank You, I always needed one of them!
After Remembrance Day is proper.
When my wife tells me.
@rustyh3 best answer! If she is not Happy, No one is Happy!
