Do you leave your Christmas lights up year round?

If you leave your Christmas lights, on your house, year round, you are definetely a redneck. Not that there is anything wrong with that...But you are in fact red on the neck..

My three foot high synthetic Christmas tree has been sitting on top of my broken air hockey table for about three years. That is the only Christmas decoration I own and I'm quite happy about that. No, the lights have never been plugged in and I like it that way.

On a side note, Christmas is overrated. It has lost the meaning that it once had and quite frankly it sickens me. I like to pray on Christmas instead of blowing a ton of cash on crap that people probably don't want anyway.

Yep, I'm a grinch.

j/k, I know what you mean though. Christmas morning had a better feel when I was a kid and also the days leading up to it. Even the cartoons were better.

Lights?? Why waste the money?

A two-foot fake tree on the table is it...

Keep milking this thread like some of my colleagues milk calls, and it will be Christmas time.

I guess that now that I'm an adult I don't think of Christmas as a way to milk items from others. What a selfish way to think of how to celebrate the birth of Christ. I get the symbolism with giving gifts and everything, but in my family it's almost a contest of who can spend the most cash. I say it's a bunch of crap.

Christmas is supposed to be about Christ, not buying stuff for everyone. It's more of an obligation these days than it is to help someone else feel good because you cared enough to get them a little something. Granted, if your heart is in the right place then kudos to you. If not, well... that's really none of my business, is it?

Back on track though, we have a guy in town that leaves his lights LIT all throughout the year. I keep getting confused when it's 1am, I'm sweating because it's hot, and I see "Merry Christmas" lit up on his roof like it's December 20th. (December 20th is usually cold in Nebraska)
