Christmas in Chanhassen: Day 39
Two and a half months ago Dave and I were dazzled by the Christmas decorating our next-door neighbors did. They had elaborate lights, decorated trees and a gift-wrapped doors.
On Groundhog Day, it doesn't seem quite as nice.
While I cut people some slack when it comes to taking down their lights -- I even think people can leave white twinkle lights up year 'round, if it looks nice -- I draw the line at multi-colored lights and a gift-wrapped door in February. I mean, it's been nice out. Their yard is bare of snow. Besides, they still turn the lights on!
Worse, we can see their living room from ours... and they STILL HAVE THE TREE UP!
So I have begun Christmas Watch 2005. In the future I'll just post the number of days past Christmas their tree and their wrap has remained up. I hope we don't reach the triple digits...

Total Days with Lights: 73

You should sabatoge the little Christmas trees (bushes?) on their front porch and decorate them for Valentine's Day. Hang little pink hearts all over 'em. That'd be hilarious.
