Montana Is Among the States That Keep Holiday Decorations Up the Longest

The holiday season is here, my friends. Halloween is just around the corner, and we all know Halloween rolls right into Thanksgiving, which rolls right into Christmas.

What I'm saying is, we'll all be slacking off at work for three months. I don't make the rules; I just abide by them.

I know there are people out there who absolutely love decorating their homes for the holidays. They start with Halloween - the pumpkins, bats, cobwebs, spiders, and skeletons - and carry it into Thanksgiving with the cornucopia and turkeys. Then the season is capped off with a month of Christmas trees, snowflakes, and Santa Claus.

Some states are more obsessed with it than others.
