Tis the Season--unless you live next door to us

Anyone who visits me knows that practically the only house in sight from our front window is caddy corner across the street. And, it never fails, winter fades to spring and spring to summer and those people are still...let's say, "festive." Instead of decorating from Thanksgiving to Christmas, they decorate from Christmas to Thanksgiving, which is why what's happened now is mind-boggling even to me.

Three weeks ago, the decorations, which have been up for more than a year, completely disappeared. No icicle lights, blow-up snowmen or plastic Santas in sight. I thought perhaps that they were just giving them a good scrubbing seeing that they had probably collected two years' worth of gunk and grime in the front yard, but there's still no sign of the little suckers.

Until February, that is, when I'm sure they will magically appear again.
