I don't see why it would. Maybe you just didn't want to spend the time or money on decorations. Am I wrong?

A lot of houses don't decorate for Christmas. It's no big deal.

Down here in my subdivision we have folks that go all out for Christmas & folks like us that don't. Some of the displays here would make the Griswolds jealous.  Its really a matter of what you feel like doing & how much you want your electric bill to rise. Since there's no HOA a lot of people leave their lights up year round too. |

Seriously doubt anyone will care at all whether you choose to put up some lights or wreaths . . . I know people who don't so much "celebrate" Christmas but just like to see some white lights up cause it is cheerful.  |

As an avid Christmas decorator, I'd have to say the Griswolds are overrated. They used nothing but white lights with no design whatsoever. |

I don't mind decorating, but I detest having to take it all down and pack it up! So I have cut back on my decorating. Someone should start a business - taking down holiday decorations. |

Now you're talking!
Although the outdoor display that takes me days to put up actually only takes me one good day to take down. Maybe I should start that business. |

Do you have any pics of your displays that we could see?  |

I actually hate it!
Thankfully we live on a cul-de-sac and our house is set so far back that noone would be coming by to see our decorations anyway.
I put up a pre-lit tree, pre-lit garland and let the kids put up whatever they are willing to take down after Christmas!
