 Oh Christmas Tree... (and those damn lights) I really do love Christmas. It's the best time of the year. But for some reason I have a huge hate-on for Christmas lights. And it's not even really the lights that I hate. The lights are pretty. It's the people that insist on putting those F-ing lights up in the first week of November and leaving them up (and turned the fuck on) until the middle of Febraury. I'm not kidding. There was one house in my neighborhood last year that had their lights turned on until early March.  Christmas is great. But why don't these people realize that they are wasting huge amounts of electricity? And furthermore, don't they know they're overdoing it? Let's make Christmas just the month of December. So it becomes special again. And we don't all get sick of it before it finally arrives on December 25th. How many times have you found yourself in the middle of Decemeber say "Golly, I wish Christmas would hurry up and get here so we can get it over and move on..." That's because of the keeners and their super-keen, super-early, middle-of-August Christmas lights. Yeah, the weather sucks. And ladders don't do so well on snow and ice. So if you want to put your outdoor lights up in September and leave them turned off until December I can forgive you for that. Hell, I think it's a great and safe idea. But for the rest of you, if you leave your lights up after January 2nd, I will curse your name. And if you still have them on by the beginning of February, I'll be knocking on your door.
