Title: Holiday Lights (01/11/12)
Description: Should lights and decorations from the winter holidays come down right after the holiday is over? Or should we let them stay just a little bit longer?

Dahira -- Should We Take Down The Lights

I think no because if somebody walks by your house they would say it's beautiful.

Mari -- why you should keep decorations up after Christmas.

Article posted January 10, 2012 at 07:54 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 868

I think you should take them down around Dec 30, 31. Because we have alot of decorations. Decorations are pretty and they make your house look prettier. They make your house stand out like the Manashes.

It takes alot of work if you do it around your house so it makes sense to do it later cause instead of doing all that work you can chill and just play with your gifts from Christmas.

Victoria -- lights

Article posted January 10, 2012 at 07:58 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 1020

I think you should keep them up till winter is over. So people can see them if thay haven't seen them. I also think you should keep them up because thay are colorful. They can make your home more beautiful. That's why I think you should keep them up longer.

Ryan2 -- Why I Think We Should Keep Our Decorations up

Article posted January 10, 2012 at 07:58 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 1029

I think we should keep our decorations up untill the end of Winter. Why? Because Winter isn't done yet. If you leave them up it will make summer colorful.

Cameron -- Holiday lights

Article posted January 10, 2012 at 07:57 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 1032

I think we have to take them down because it will waste power. And I think we should leave them up till the end of winter. When we take them down, it will be in about five weeks!

Mila -- Lights

Article posted January 10, 2012 at 08:00 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 1008

Hello it is Mila. I think we all should take our lights down as soon as we an can. It is just not healthy for the world.

Mackenzie -- Let's keep the lights up

Article posted January 10, 2012 at 08:00 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 915

I think we should keep them up until winter. Because when it turns to spring it will not be the holiday season anymore. But it will be cute in spring. I think that they should be taken down on the first day of spring, maybe a little longer. But I already took them down and I took my tree down which means I'm not that happy.

Elijah -- christmas decorations

Article posted January 10, 2012 at 07:59 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 941

Should we keep the decorations up? I think no, because you have to pay more money for your electricity, and people are too lazy to take them down.

Lucas -- Why I want Christmas lights to stay up

Article posted January 10, 2012 at 07:53 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 1135

I think Christmas lights should stay up because...
It would put more color in the neighborhood and when people walk/drive they might like them.

And people would get more Christmas spirit.

Chelsea2 -- Why the Christmas decorations

Article posted January 10, 2012 at 08:00 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 992

How long should the Christmas decorations be still up? I think that they should be up three more days becase it's the last holiday of the month and the year. But it will take a lot of electricity, but you don't have to turn on the lights so you don't lose
electricity.

I like the Christmas decorations because it makes it pretty. I really like the Christmas decorations.

Iman -- Why the Lights Should Come Down

Article posted January 10, 2012 at 08:00 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 1052

In our class, we put up lights for the holiday. Our class voted if the lights should come down or stay up. I voted they should stay up, but then I changed my mind. I think they should go down because if they stay up, it will use up more electricity and it is not good to use a lot of electricity. That is why I want the lights to come down.

Esme -- Why the Christmas Lights Stay Should Stay Up

Article posted January 10, 2012 at 07:59 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 1083

I think the lights should stay up until winter is over because it reminds us it's still winter and they give the classroom more color.

Other people want the lights to come down early, but I really don't agree with them.

Landyn -- Holiday Decorations off or on

Article posted January 10, 2012 at 07:57 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 1123

I think people should leave their Christmas decorations up. Because the Christmas spirit will go on for a while and I think the decorations will look nice on houses. I think they will look nice.

Elissa -- Hoilday Lights

Article posted January 10, 2012 at 07:58 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 941

So I'm thinking about well let me just start telling you right know.

You dont have to take your hoilday lights down right after the hoilday, they make your house more colorful and, they also look good looking on lots of things. I think they look best on the side of your house or in your house.

But really I mean you don't have to take them down right after the hoilday. I wouldn't.

I think Christmas lights should stay up. I think they should stay up because it would put more spirit into the world. It would also make summer and spring more colorful. By the way this story is 1 paragraph long.
