Wellll, just yesterday, the clips were removed from the gutters.....the boys in the family didn't see a problem with them, I find them TACKY, TACKY, TACKY!!!!!

But there are alot things these boys do that are tacky! Have a good one!

Well my neighbors are lucky that I even took my lights down.. But as far as the clips go if you leave them up it is a lot easier to put the lights back up next year..

I think they all do it in this neighborhood!!

yeah leave them up, what the heck, i bet the griswalds dont take theirs down

Timmy, take the clips down. It's tacky and lazy to leave them up. An eye sore. We're married over 30 years and still put the lights up and take them down.. in January.. clips and all. JMO

Clips? I did not know they exist. I used white(like my house) panneling nails and took pliers and bent them in a hook. You cannot see them unless you really look for them. But people that leave the lights up all year I think are a little tacky and lazy. It does look cheesey.

I once accused a friend of not taking down his Halloween decorations..........until I realized he lived next door to a graveyard....JK

Seriously though, does anyone else think that EXCESSIVE xmas lights are a waste of energy?

Notice I said "excessive" - don't accuse me of being a scrooge. It should be done "tastfully" - remember: "less is more"

I think some on here are trying to get above their raising . Tacky depends on were you live . If you live in the country making a flower bed from old tires happens all the time . I know of one blogger on her that lives near a German community . There you can find old bath tubs , half buried with a statue of Mary inside .
Now we take our lights down after New Years Day . I never used clips , duck tape works great LOL
Go for it Tim , show them nabors your from Texas .

Clips?
Heck I'd be happy with clips, because the guy at the end of my street still has the candy canes lining his driveway. The lights fell down around new years day and are piled in a lump next to his garage.

He's had like 10 parties since christmas.
He can drag a keg of beer and food for 20 people into the house and the empty keg along with 10 bags of trash back out but tossing the decorations in a box in the basement is just to much of a struggle.

It's christmas all year long. BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP!

TIM leave your clips right were they are.It will save you time next year!!!!! And so what you still have clips up there at least you took down your light! The lights are tacky but the clips NOT TACKY.

You should just leave the clips where they are after all you will use them again to put the lights back up so why double work yourself?

you all are very NICE. BE honest, the clips are tacky, but leaving the lights up year round is a very hoosier thing to do. (I use that phrase frequently when convincing my son that cutting the grass and weed whacking must occur at the SAME TIME!)

My father-in-law left his Christmas light up for 3 years! He just took them down because they put their house on the market..and the real kicker here is that they didn't even work! As for leaving the clips on your house, well...whatever makes it less back-breaking during the holidays!

Yea, its kinda tacky. But, I am happy with anyone who at least get it down to the clips. Our neighbors just took their lights down this past weekend!

Let me put it this way...putting up and taking down lights can be very hazardous. You can slip off the ladder and break your neck. So why not make it safer by leaving up the clips? Who cares????????????????? What would you prefer...how someone you do not know thinks of the outside of your house...or...avoiding death...your choice people.

Hey Tim just stoppin by to say hi! You crack me up on the webcam of yours! Let me know when you will be in my area again, I will stop by and see you! Peace out baby ~ Jana
