Post-holiday musings

Last night while driving through the city I got to noticing all the Christmas lights that are not only still up, but still on. Ye gods, it looks like a trailer park out there...

Which got me to wondering.

Lights are really an unobtrusive decoration. I use 'em as lighting in my room, actually. But that's interior lighting.

Garlands, etc., should never be up before Thanksgiving, and should be down by the first free weekend after the end of the season. My family starts the season on the Solstice, and ends it at New Year's.

(I'm just *now* coming to realize exactly how pagan my father's upbringing of us was.)
