Are you in Christmas denial? Massively disorganized? Check all that apply.

I'll get the Christmas stuff down once I figure out how to remove this lot sign.

I was able to take advantage of the warm weather this past Sunday and took the rest of my Christmas lights down.
I did turn them on from time to time up until I took them down on Sunday. Hey, they were up and I put them to good use. :)
My neighbour across the street still has his lights up and they still turn on daily. :)

We still have our Christmas lights up and use them nightly. We live rural, it very dark out at night in the winter, plus we have a pack of coyotes that live in the side and back field. I am not taking those light down till the coyotes are back to regular feeding options. :x Putting our 2 little dogs out nightly is an adventure, not sure shitting their pants more the dogs or me.

Here are 2 coyotes out in the back field last week, these 2 have been out in the daytime a lot recently. I went out and yelled at them, they just looked at me and ignored me. Second photo is when I yelled at them. These guys are larger then my usual coyotes, they must be coydog or coywolf

Were you expecting them to converse with you? :)

Our christmas lights are still up and occasionally turned on still some nights :oops:

Our 4 year old loves them and knows how to turn on the switch on our porch. I'm working on convincing him they have to be taken down. With somethings I'm a push over unforutantely. My neighbours probably think it's odd the few nights he turns it on still.

I forgot how I call Christmas lights police person last year with similar thread.
Some people are still clueless. It is 2016. It is Canada. It is Chinese New Year.

Currently they're now my Ramadan lights and after that they will become my Canada Day lights. Please don't poo-poo on my celebrations.

You must live on one of the poorer streets in town.
