Just bored, so putting up a poll. Finally got the x-mas lights taken down and put into one of those vile plastic containers and of course 3 of the lights were too fat and they put the lights on backwards. :| Seriously, putting x-mas lights back in those things has to be one of the most inhumane thing man could ever make someone do!

If i were you id just coil them up and stick them in one of those rubbermaid tote tubs... dang i feel like martha stewart, except im cuter or sumthin :)

Right about the time you'd have to put them away, they sell new ones at the store for like 90% off (something around 50c a box), and you might consider picking up some for next year and skipping the whole 'hours spent trying to shove 'em back in' thing

i dont put em up
maybe when we have kids and they get a bit older i will

i didnt even do a x mas tree this year =)

but when i do i doubt i will ever take em down

ill be the only house on the block with xmas lights running on a fine july night

The things are way too cheap, so I just throw them away after I take them down.

$0.40 for a box of the lights...but they are out of stock already.
