Thanks for the holiday thoughts and the same to you. 
You already have your lift and your bike on it, so that looks like you're doing what you want to for the winter. I've never had a lift, started riding before there were none for home use. I've stored all kinds of bikes on the cold ground, sometimes just covered without even the luxury of a garage. I've never had a problem doing that, the worst thing was riding a few miles to get rid of flat spots on the tires. I'm sure you'll be fine, that's just been my experience.

The flat spots will come out. I haven't experienced flat spots in many many years with the newer tire compounds, but others have. As mentioned, they will come out after a few miles of riding if you do end up with them. I store my bike on a rubber cow mat. In Vermont our bikes are stored for up to 7 months, and I've yet to have flat spots on my later model bikes. It could be because I roll it out of its corner periodically to work on her throughout the winter?

Over the last few years I've had different bikes sitting between 12 to 17 months without them being moved. No issues with flat spots EVER. Don't know how these rumors come up but honest, a few months sitting is not going to damage your tires.
