Ralph: ... Sigh... What's the date? Norman: August 30th Ralph: Hmm... Eh, why bother? Norman: If you procrastinate long enough, you can get away with never taking down your Christmas lights!
I’d love to leave some lights up year-round. When the days get short, it’s nice to light up the perimeter of the front porch. And in the summer, when you’re inviting people over for a barbecue in the evening, they make the deck look much more festive than flood lights.
And my daughter really wants to put up Halloween lighting (orange and purple, ghosts and pumpkins and things) throughout October.
Sadly, my HOA won’t stand for that. Lights can’t go up before Thanksgiving, and must come down by January 1st.
