Lake Afternoon Drive: Too early for Christmas lights?

You know that feeling when the sun hits just right and it’s not freezing in mid-November? That’s today. With highs around 6 or 7—and even 8 tomorrow—it’s like Mother Nature wrapped up a little gift and left it on your porch.

Usually, putting up Christmas lights this time of year means frozen fingers. But this week? You could do it without gloves. Imagine that.

But when is the right time to put up Christmas lights? Is November 13th too early? Or is this warm spell just too good to waste?

Let me know by tuning into the Lake Afternoon Drive with me, Caleb, weekdays from 2–6pm on 89.5 the Lake.
