With a warm spring-like weekend, there's no reason for your holiday decorations to remain dangling from your roofs or flashing merrily along in the front of your houses. You had your chance. If you're holiday decorations remain up you will be reported to the authorities.
Yes, few people know this, but there are the authorities of good taste when it comes to Christmas decorations. No excuse for those life-like lighted reindeers to still be munching out front of the bay window. Take it down, loser. We're eight days into the new year; it's time to move on to Valentine's Day.
You missed a perfect opportunity last weekend when The Hound observed many a Lake Countian out in the yard, up on the ladder, removing the detritus of yet another holiday season. One hates to be Scrooge or Grinch on this matter, but come on folks, give your neighbors a break.
You know who you are and you have been warned. The next step is notifying the authorities. And wouldn't the authorities just love to enact a law specifying when you're supposed to take that yard Nativity down and place it in storage. Just look what they've done to smokers. You could be next.
