These are the reasons why I think our house Christmas lights will not come down for a long time (in no particular order)...
1) They act as a better porch light then our actual porch light
2) We have some mighty fine, classy lights on our house... and that's not joke! I love our simple, big-bulb white lights - a lovely contrast to our neighbors weird blue icicle lights (no offense if that was your lighting set up for this holiday)
3) The kids literally fight over who gets to plug in the lights each night - so who am I to step in the way of their happiness!
4) It's a little piece of this glorious holiday we just celebrated that I get to hold onto and remind me of the important things - funny how a bunch of house lights can do that
5) Taking down the lights literally involves planning and time allotment - something that our family is apparently not in favor of.
6) The big guy is now fully booked up between work, upcoming birthdays, out-of-state visitors, etc. that the lights will probably be up until Valentine's Day... ooooo, I'm seeing a romantic dinner underneath the warm, Christmas light glow in our front yard - hey, I've had worse!
7) Building upon Reason #1, the Griswald lumination our lights give off are perfect to keep creepy people away from my house.
and lastly,
#8) WE ARE THAT FAMILY! Yep, cat's outta the bag. We are THAT family with Christmas lights up all year long, piles of old newspapers (I swear I'm gonna get to all those coupons one of these days), kids bikes, random pieces of wood and car seats all collecting on our front porch.
So ghetto... but hey, that's us!
