Can someone tell me why some people still have Christmas lights blinking -- in April. Don't get me wrong. I love Christmas lights. They're a tremendous antidote to cabin fever and the darkness that takes over in the dead of our winters. I enjoy closing all the lights off in my house -- and simply looking at our well-lit tree. I applaud neighbors and other townsfolks who brighten the season with enormous yard displays. Such generous people warm my heart. In fact, now that we have a fake tree, I've coaxed my wife into leaving the tree up until after the first of the year. I appreciate others who leave their displays into January, too. But April? After daylight-saving time? C'mon. Shouldn't there be a city ordinance against this stuff?

Question: Izzit just me? Or are you bugged by individuals who still have Christmas lights blinking this time of year?
