Possibly unpopular opinion, but I think Christmas lights should stay up all winter (except for like obvious Santa ones) cause it makes the gloomy days prettier and helps seasonal depression
When I was 27 my parents stole a car I'd purchased without their money or input, forged the pink slip, & sold it, giving me the choice to charge them with grand theft auto or let it go.
So idk, maybe parents who care a little too much aren't the worst thing in the world.
