You know, I actually kinda understand those people who never take their Christmas lights down and own/frequent those all-year-'round Christmas stores. We're taking down all the Christmas stuff this week and it just makes everything seem a little less... special. The warm glow of the Christmas tree makes everything look more magical; without it, the winter ahead just seems dull. Lights and decorations are just what one needs during the long winter dark; there's a damn good reason why all winter solstice-related festivals have putting lights and sparkly decorations up as part of the celebration.
Oh, don't mind me. I'm a Christmas sentimentalist at hear and my SAD's just acting up, I suppose.

Winter? What winter?
If one left the lights up, they would no longer be special, right?
*hehehe* Yeah, not much of a winter right now. But the days are still short, no matter what the temperature.
But you're quite right (as usual), GayProf. They probably would lose their specialness if left up.
