Over? HAH! By mutual consent, the tree, lights and all (meaning the lights on the exterior of the house) say up and lit until, well, we feel like its time to take it down. Usually, mid February it comes down. The record though is March 19.

The year, my darling bride had the first round of oral surgery the morning of New Year's Eve. Round two is scheduled for February 6. So, we're leaving them up this year because they ARE cheerful - and she likes them and why not?
