It's now 4 February 2004, a full 41 days after Christmas. Tonight, I counted 13 houses with Christmas lights burning bright within the last 2 miles of home. Nine of these houses are in Winchester and the remaining 4 are in Medford.

I've seen people leave decorations up for months after Christmas, but I don't remember anybody leaving Christmas lights burning this late.

Does anyone have thoughts on why this is?
