While I was putting up some Christmas lights today (we’re going with the “less is more” approach), I was wondering if there were any laws regulating the use or abuse of lights during the Holiday season. Apparently, in California, there are no restrictions against Christmas lights, as long as you don’t live in San Diego and as long it is not past February 2nd. After that date, I read where you could get fined $250. I encourage anyone who receives such a fine to claim that you were putting them up early for the next Christmas season…as this appears to be lawful.
