It has been a cold winter, then a rainy spring, and finally, it turned too
hot to do any work outside. Last weekend though, had perfect weather so I took down the Christmas lights. Today, it is going to be 75 degrees and sunny. Won't be many nice days like that so, I think I'm going to get a jump on the holiday and put up the Christmas lights. |

Good thinking, we plan to put ours up before the first frost, but for us that is historically November 15. |

I like the way you think, but the wife is still nagging me to get those plastic Easter Eggs out of the trees! It hadn't been an issue til now since the darn leaves are falling and she can see them again! |

That way, they are multi-seasonal and stay up all year ) |

In all seriousness, the wires on Christmas lights won't last through year-round sun exposure. Many sets have a warning label (one of several) indicating that it shouldn't be left outside for more than 90 days. So wait at least a few more days before putting them up. |
