over

When it's over - it's over. Take down your holiday decorations!! Okay, if it is cold and snowy I understand leaving the lights up but for goodness sakes, don't keep them turned on!
Count how many dead wreaths are still up. Amazing.
They're dead, they're ugly, take them down!

Just for fun I pretended we still had a wreath on our door. I timed how long it took me to take it off and put it in the garbage. Walking slowly it took me 9 seconds.

Let's make it a law. If you put the decorations up you have 30 days to take them down.

Last weekend when my husband and I were out and about I started counting the number of wreaths still up. I got up to 17 of them and then started counting silently... I think my patient husband is afraid that one day I will just walk up to a stranger's door and remove the wreath.

My feelings about holiday decorations being up WAY past the holiday are well-known to our friends. One year upon our return from vacation in April, we returned home to find that our "pals" put up holiday lights and a dead wreath just for fun. ha ha ha. Was it a coincidence then that a few weeks later a FOR SALE sign magically appeared on their front lawn?
