I dunno, Kem, maybe it would have been better to leave it up until April Fool's, just for the joke. One of my hometown friends parents left their Christmas lights up all year and turned them on July 4th. It embarrassed her no end.
I thought of that but it's been up so long that the wreath had a distinct brownish tinge to it. It was getting pretty ugly. ("Pretty ugly"! Get it? That's a joke.) When I cut it down it slipped from my fingers; nearly all the needles ended up on the porch. I love the Christmas light idea though. If I knew for sure my kids would be embarrassed beyond repair, I'd turn my lights on to celebrate the 4th.

I'm sitting here laughing because I'd do something like that just to embarrass my kids. I was terrible that way and I'm surprised they still speak to me.

What fun is it being a parent if you can't mess with your kids' heads once in a while?
