GaryBo Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Everyone has missed the obvious solution:If you are a "redneck" or even part of, you are allowed to keep the lights up all year round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it wouldn't even be noticed.That's where the wife and I are looking to possibly purchase our next home, so maybe we could be neighbors! LOLNo sure if there is anyone currently in Christmas Florida that does the LOR type stuff, don't recall seeing any listed, not that there isn't, but I just haven't seen one listed, so you (or I) could be the first to invade and step up the decor a few notches.Any takers for a move where it doesn't snow, still gets cold, sometimes we do get ice (very little), but you could sequence your heart out and no one would mind at all.BTW: it is "considered" red-neck territory, so ya'all nawthern red-necks could move right in and feel right at home too.:shock::cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Cheesehead Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 It's not that you haven't taken down last year's lights. It's that you already have next years up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cray Augsburg Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 For what it's worth, I live in Kentucky, the Land O Rednecks. (Hey, mnemonically that would be L O R .)About a third of my lights are still up. Let's see . . .Valentine's Day - turned the red ones onSt Pat's - yup, the green ones are onEaster - we'll have the white ones, to go with the bunny blowmoldsJuly 4th - red and white with a sprinkling of blowmolds.etc . . .yeah, we can pretty much use 'em year round.

Cray Augsburg Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Thanks! But I'm really not the ONLY guy with the right idea . . . people on this forum are so creative in SOOO many ways!Truly, my remaining lights will come down eventually (don't show your wife THIS!)The Dogwood tree will grow, and I really hate seeing s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d mini-light strings.The 18 single-color LED spots (red, green and white) in the large Oak tree will be replaced by several Rainbow Floods.And the 300 C9s on the eaves will lose their paint in the summer heat (need to invest in some dimmable retros with Paul).BUT, driving the beautiful backroads in Kentucky at ANY time during the year will net you several "homes" with white-wire icicle lights hanging in all their glory.

Can't forget about all those too.So I guess the lights should never come down, only the blowmolds or other decor that doesn't fit the particular holiday in question for sequencing. :dude: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Don Gillespie Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 FYI Lights are coming down today the trees are empty of lights, the shrubs are empty of lights, the lights from the angel to the ground are still frozen in the ground can not break them free, the extension cords are almost put away still under 2 feet of ice however the good news is my wife still loves me and she has decided not to leave me LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
