I was walking by my neighbor’s yard right before Thanksgiving and I noticed that she had already put up her Christmas lights. There is alot said for planning ahead. I often want to wait until it gets really close to Christmas before putting out my lights and it is always FREEZING out. Doing it early makes alot of sense. She can get it done in the cool nights of early November (I obviously live in Virginia and not in Minnesota!) and not put them out in the freezing cold.
Just because you put up your lights doesn’t mean you have to light them up. You can choose to turn them on whenever you feel like it is appropriate for you. Light strands can hardly be seen in the bushes during the day. If you put lights out on garlands it would be harder to put them out early. I tend to wrap the gardlands in the light strands inside and then hang them. This makes it alot easier and quicker.
Enjoy this special season! We should always be preparing our hearts for the Lord!
