Twelfth Night...

[Colin1]

...anyone else take their Christmas decorations down today?

We got sent home from work today so I took them down this afternoon, I hate how sombre my living room looks after the splash of colour and lights. Some people never grow up...

 

[beaupower32]

Took mine down the day after Christmas.....

 

[evangilder]

New years day I took the lights off the house. Most of the neighbors have them down now too, so it does look kind of stark.

 

[Thorlifter]

Took mine down the day of Christmas, but I didn't put too much up to start with.

 

[Njaco]

didn't have them up

 

[Lucky13]

Haven't had any for four years....

 

[Erich]

you violators of Christmas cheer !!

only took the lights off the front trees, but seems we are the only ones in the neighborhood to still turn them on.

I may still have them going through the long summer nights so the drunk neighbors can steer their way home...........the losers.

We usually remove most by the 15th normally but 09/010 has not been normal

 

[B-17engineer]

Removed ours the 27th. Day we left for Atlantic City.

didn't have them up

Bah! Humbug!

Wife took them down and she really goes to town putting them up. Place is lit up like Super Max.

She took them down from Saturday to Tuesday. 4 days straight, about the same time it takes to put them up.

 

[ToughOmbre]

Christmas season IMO ends after New Years Day so I take them down (or don't light them) Jan 2.

We took ours down yesterday. Normally we take them down on the 6th, but we did it early yesterday when we had the snow day from work.

That's what made it especially difficult this year
the blanket of snow outside, the two just seemed to go together

I looked at the title and thought "...great a thread about Shakespeare's play!"


So much for culture.

So much for culture.

If music be the food of love, play on,
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.

I do curtain calls

 

[Maximowitz]

That's the spirit Colin!

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii thank you!
The West End beckons...

 

[Maximowitz]

Colin, I give it five minutes before Jan pops on to the thread and breaks the cultural spell with a Swedish knob joke.

 

[Njaco]

Said Hamlet to Ophelia,
"I'll do a sketch of thee.
What kind of pencil shall I use?
2B, or not 2B?"


beat Jan to it!
