The day after Halloween every year I had a neighbor who would drag out her giant plastic snowman and Santa, plug them in and not turn them off again till New Years day. I always thought this was funny and one year I asked her why she did this so early. Her response: 'Christmas is only 2 months after Halloween and I just love to look at them'. Even now as I look out my window I smile as I remember her snowman and Santa. And I will never forget her. Still I think the day after Halloween is too early but, it occured to me I could put my outdoor lights up as early as I wanted and then wait to turn them on until it was the right time.
This weekend test the Chirstmas Lights. Check to see if any bulbs or complete strands need replacing and gather ideas on how you want to decorate this year. Next weekend we will put up the outdoor lights so they will be ready to turn on the day after Thanksgiving. Unless of corse, you are like my neighbor, and want to turn them on earlier.
