I always enjoy the aesthetic of Christmas lights in neighborhoods, town and city centers, etc, probably disproportionate to the amount I’m even into the holiday of Christmas.

I’m always bummed when January rolls around, just as winter is really getting started, and all the lights come down (other than that one neighbor we all have, haha). Christmastime is mostly late fall, other than four days. So we’ve blown our wad here in the first week of winter.

Where I'm from, winter sucks. It’s cold, it’s slippery, and snow is nice for a couple of hours and then it becomes a dirty, slushy mess. These are the times when I wish I had the pick-me-up of Christmas lights, but they’re usually gone by the time real winter weather comes along.

So…. what if we switched it up a little? What if Christmastime just kind of ushered in “Winter Lights” season, people could decorate as they currently do, but just everyone does it, whether you do Christmas or not. Then, after Christmas, we just leave it up the rest of winter, but you take down the Santas and the reindeer and anything else specific to Christmas. I just think it would be cool to keep those good feelings rolling all the way through March.

Now, I don’t know how this plays out in warmer climates, or the Southern Hemisphere, I haven’t thought it all the way through yet, lmao.

But yeah, what would you all think about lights all winter?
