7 Ways Christmas Lights Frustrate The People Of Idaho

Christmas is not just around the corner, it's peaking it's big bearded head around the corner and looking at our faces. In case you couldn't tell, there are signs all around us in the form of decorations and yes... Christmas lights.

Christmas Lights: Friend or Foe?

Let us be clear - we love Christmas lights... we also know they're not for everyone.

It might sound ridiculous and even frivolous but we have to know. Why? How could someone actually hate Christmas lights?

The harsh reality is that Christmas lights can cause frustration for some people. It sounds ridiculous until you think about the person who is expected (usually by their family) to pull out boxes and boxes of Christmas lights to prepare to decorate with.

Added to this frustration is sorting them out, untangling, and even testing them. Have you ever felt the rage that comes with trying to find the "loose bulb?" It's the kind of thing that could ruin Christmas lights for someone for the rest of their life.

Then there's the whole part about them actually being up. Some people love to admire the lights until they have a neighbor who decorates their home like they're decorating for Scentsy or St. Al's.

It can be a lot!

So, we asked people in the Treasure Valley to share their top Christmas light frustrations with us and while some are light-hearted... some of these frustrations hit a little too close to home.
