Crazy neighborhood! Do your neighbors continually blow their leaves and mow their yards in December?

I think leaves on yards look nice and wintery. I mean, it’s that season, right?
What’s the harm in leaves? But each day I hear the roaring of lawn mowers and leaf blowers—and they’re paying for this! So we end up looking like the bums of the neighborhood because as soon as they have a leaf on their yard or driveway they call someone to blow them away. Do you leave your leaves? Or do you get rid of them twice weekly and get the yard mowed short?
