It means it’s time to take down the holiday lights.

Oh sure, some people might say you should take the lights down on, like, New Years Day. I say, what’s the rush? Why should I drag my big extension ladder out of the garage and around to the front of the house on some rainy early-January day, when I can wait until a mild, sunny-ish morning comes along?

Gee, now it’s only 10 months until it’s time to put them up again. Maybe I should’ve just left them . . . .
