Yeah, I guess I put up Christmas decorations up too early this year and was just so tired of it all I took it all down last night after work,
The strings of lights that I draped over some bushes are unplugged for the season but still outside since it's all rainy here. When it's drier I'll bundle them off and store in the garage all balled up lol alongside the Halloween lights
They will have to stay that way until spring when I can move some stuff out of the garage and reorganize.
Some people put their trees up on Christmas day and leave them up for the following month.
What about all of you? If you put up decorations are they still up and how long will you leave them up?

And,yes, much harder to put it all up and down alone. DH had surgery in early November which meant he could do nothing. Couldn't climb the ladder for outside lights, couldn't bring the boxes up from the basement. Also shortly after the surgery we had some basement flooding due to a plumbing issue. I feel like I moved everything in the storage part of the basement 4 times already. The kid goes back to school on the 9th so if it's not down by then that'll be the day. But I'm done looking at it all.
I hope your DH recovers quickly from his procedure.
I have no idea why people start putting stuff up the day after Halloween then take it down before New Years

Since it still gets dark pretty early here, lots of us in the neighborhood leave the lights up for a while. I did unplug the laser projector on the 26th too, but the lights along the roof line are still up.
