People keep talking about crime, but I tend to hold off on even putting up decorations until a week or less before the holiday because where I live the weather will destroy or launch your decorations, and the storms often come at night with no warning.

So my immediate thought was, he wants to preserve those decorations. It's something I would do if I didn't just accept I'd be replacing a third to a half of my decorations every year because I can't be assed to take them down for storms.
