Too soon for Christmas Lights?
OK, what is too soon for Christmas lights? I always put mine up at the beginning of December and I thought the 25 days until Christmas was plenty of time to light up the house and run up the electricity bill. It seems most of my neighbors already have theirs up and turned on every night. My kids have been bugging me to put ours up for a week now and even the neighbor kids are saying to my kids "Your Dad is stupid because he hasn't put your Christmas lights up yet like my Dad." You gotta love 4 year olds!
My wife put the Christmas tree and inside decorations up this weekend and has been all done her Christmas shopping for a month already. Now I have resorted to saying I'm not putting the lights up yet because it takes too much electricity from our insufficient power generating facilities in Ontario; I'm doing my part for the environment! Truth is, I just can't get into the Christmas mood so early.
Any thoughts?
