Usually the day after Thankgiving. Haven't yet this year. Too cold and windy and my wife hurt her back and can't supervise. 
If it was up to me not at all. But the other half has got to have lites. I put them up on Monday of this week. " UNDER DURESS!"
I'm a big bah humbugger. I think Christmas has got to commercial and the reason for it has been forgotten.

I agree. We buy for the one we have at home and the grandchildren and that's it.

Those lights have only been in NZ for a few years
Must be the Americans bringing them down with them when they move here

Living in the Christmas capital of Canada, we should have lots of lights out, but the kid won't be back here for the holiday and I am hellbent on bah-humbug. I did put a big red bow on the front door, and have a solar-powered snowman at the back door (our usual access from the back lane).
I really should get out and take pics of the lighting projects around here, they rival that of Nick's neighbour and Rusty's civic display. Love that ditto sign, lmao.

Baaaaaaah!
I wonder how many million tons of CO2 are generated each year to manufacture and and power up all of the pretty Christmas lights.
hee hee, I couldn't resist.
Coal in my stocking again this year.
Do like some folks around here do. Just leave them up year round. All ya gotta do is plug and unplug.
If we put up lights here, the only ones that might see them is those in the space shuttle going over.

Yeah. Trimming it out is a real bear. That was taken late last spring. Nick was going to send me something via airmail and I wanted him to know where to drop it.

Working for the tree guy, at least once a week we are feeding trees through the chipper that still have lights on them! The customer knows we are coming to take down their tree......... and they still don't take down the lights! And I'm not talking about just Christmas time.

I sure hope they had the courtesy to unplug them first!
