Just listen to old grandpa Joe

I understand I am not the arbiter taste and decency but I am certain we would all agree that if I were the world would be a much better place. 

I said we should all agree on this point. 

Anyway, it has been two months. It is time to turn off your Christmas lights. You don’t have to brave the cold and take them down, just reach down and unplug them. Really it is not difficult. And that tree in your window? I hope it is artificial. A real one is a fire hazard at this point. 

This message isn’t only for my neighbor down the street. We came home from our friend’s house last night and counted more than a dozen gaily decorated homes. 

I know the long cold winter nights are tough and a bit of festive color brightens your dreary life, but it is time to give it up. 

I’ll address wearing your pajamas to Walmart in a later post.

Turn off your Christmas lights.
