Just teasing. :) I have easy to put up and take down outdoor decorations now. The brass hooks stay on the house and I added metal hanging loops to the lighted garlands so there is no more measuring. I figure it's not worth it if it becomes a big chore.
You sound very organised. We avoid the hassle of taking down outdoor decs, by not putting any up! My indoor tree will stay up until the 6th of January, after 12 days of Christmas.
Thanks Giving decs from November 1st till December 1st, then up with the Xmas Decs till 6th of Jan swiftly replaced with something Valentine's Day themed, till Easter...?
WHEN PEOPLE TAKE THEIR CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS DOWN ALREADY; ....IF YOU HADN'T PUT THEM UP IN NOVEMBER, MAYBE YOU WOULDN'T BE FED UP WITH THEM BEFORE TWELFTH NIGHT?
