She knows the main string is capable of doing this so I can’t disable the system. I like multi-colored lights and I’m really impressed with the new LED lights.

The town has turned off the displays on the town hall, but needs the scissors lift to take down the decorations on the light poles.

And speaking of crèches, it’s a Mexican custom to leave them out until February 2 (Candlemas; formally, the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary). So technically, I could leave my decorations up until then–and put them away just in time for Lent ;-9

I’ll probably take the tree down after we have our belated family Christmas celebration on the 13th.

I doubt that’s the reason, but you never know:)
