DALTON, Ga. -- Dalton officials are tired of residents showing their Christmas spirit.

The northwest Georgia city has begun cracking down on houses violating a city code requiring all Christmas lights be removed by the end of March. Nearly 100 residents have been warned about their seasonal displays, and so far all but seven homes have complied.

The code mandates that Christmas lights and other seasonal lights can be left up for no more than 90 days.

The city is giving those homes until the middle of this week to comply or face further citations.
