Alright, New Jersey, we need to get on the same page about something.

I’m about to go fully into “parent mode” about something I’ve been seeing on my ride home from work: I’m not mad, I’m disappointed.

I mean, to be this far into 2025, to still be seeing this is straight-up bonkers in my mind….

When is the right time to take down your outdoor Christmas decorations? Why am I still seeing them in February?

When should you take down Christmas decorations in New Jersey?

Those who are more traditional would say that the decorations should come down on Jan. 6, which would be the twelfth night of Christmas, also known as the Eve of Epiphany.

Others think it’s nice to keep their lights up a few weeks into Jan., which I can get behind. With the sun setting earlier and the overwhelming darkness, it’s nice to have the whimsy of the lights on your commute home.

But at a certain point we have to call it quits, people. It’s been nearly six weeks since Christmas, I should not still be seeing red and green lights on houses.

Up until last week, I was still seeing lit-up Christmas trees for goodness sake!

In one ride into the office today, I passed Christmas decorations, political signs for the presidential election, and Valentine’s Day balloons. Is it November? December? Or February? It’s getting hard to tell.

I’m not trying to poo people wanting their house to look nice in the darkness of winter, but Christmas-specific decorations need to have an expiration date.

Humbug.
