Good morning.

This is Laura.

Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.

Today's tip is to keep your holiday lights up.

If you didn't put up lights for the holidays yet, it is not too late.

Put some up now.

We need all the light we can get during these darkest months of the year.

Like a lot of people, we put lights on our house and months of the year.

Like a lot of people, we put lights on our house in some of the trees in our yard in honor of the holiday season.

I will proudly tell you that these are not coming down until February.

The winter is long, dark, and cold here in southeastern Pennsylvania, so I am preserving

and savoring my beautiful lights. I love coming home in the dark from somewhere and seeing my

yard lit up. The lights aren't particularly Christmas specific. They are white and tasteful, and we are not in a neighborhood

that forbids them. So why not? If you live somewhere with long, dark winters, or if you find

winter gloomy, whatever the weather, I encourage you to add your own light, too. If you put up

lights for the holidays, leave them up into the new year.

Not just a few days into January.

I am talking a month or more.

And if you haven't put up lights yet, there is no reason not to do it now.
