Reply to comment by annswertwin in [OC] When should winter holiday decorations be taken down? by gridnews

Why isn't this higher?

I kind of get taking them down right away if you can fucking get to them but my yard still has a few feet of snow that I have no interest in tramping through to retrieve stuff that isn't hurting anyone. The lights are off now, but the decor remains until the weather stops acting like Christmas!

When we were in high school, one of my friends fell off a ladder putting Xmas lights up on his parents two story house. He didn’t break any bones thx to snow but he did staple himself in the forehead with the staple gun as he landed and it left a dent in his skull too. Could have been so much worse but he still was teased mercilessly by everyone (he was one of 13 kids ) for a while thx to the dent.

A lot of us don't have snow, or not before february.

In which case, I get why you might be able to take down your stuff long before spring.
