As usual you are more sensible than I. Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 27/09/2010 03:13:50 PM
...for those people who are making decorations, etc., but other than that I fully agree :|

There also needs to be a legal window of allowable time for individuals to display outdoor home decorations and/or lights for any given holiday. I feel that one month ahead and 1 week after the holiday in question is more than reasonable. I might be able to be talked into 2 weeks after for Christmas only.


Individuals should learn proper manners when it comes to holidays and go for the traditional values. that is, okay to decorate for Christmas one day in advance, and you can leave it up for 20 days afterwards, even though that is not encouraged.

Other holidays do not need any special decorations for more than the day in question.


Individuals should learn proper manners, period.

I set my window generously but would be quite happy to see it narrowed significantly.

If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.

Shops filling up with christmas stuff? snoopcester - 27/09/2010 01:10:00 PM 664 Views
Huh. That could be it. I haven't noticed that, Camilla - 27/09/2010 01:11:58 PM 641 Views
I move that we ban any signs of Christmas before 25 November. Who's with me? *NM* Tim - 27/09/2010 01:39:57 PM 350 Views

I'd be okay with just mid-November snoopcester - 27/09/2010 02:56:09 PM 626 Views
I would give special dispensation for stores selling crafts materials Sareitha Sedai - 27/09/2010 03:04:49 PM 656 Views

How does decorating one's home have anything to do with manners? *NM* Ghavrel - 27/09/2010 11:52:11 PM 335 Views
What you do with the outside of your house affects other people Camilla - 28/09/2010 12:36:08 AM 705 Views

How are "obtrusive" lights "bad manners"? LiterateDog - 28/09/2010 01:54:59 AM 636 Views
In fairness, I've seen ones that are bright enough to keep people awake. Not so nice. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/09/2010 02:45:34 AM 286 Views
Those people and their displays are few and far between. LiterateDog - 28/09/2010 02:52:09 AM 674 Views
i'd like to make an exception to that to the ones that blare out annoying music at all hours LadyLorraine - 28/09/2010 02:56:23 AM 691 Views
Noise is a completely different matter. LiterateDog - 28/09/2010 03:04:35 AM 675 Views
True. Hence my irritation with having to acknowledge them earlier. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/09/2010 03:32:57 AM 324 Views
But MY point was, you ceded too much to her by even "acknowledging" them, foo'! *NM* LiterateDog - 28/09/2010 03:34:39 AM 414 Views
I agree random thoughts - 28/09/2010 04:33:14 PM 623 Views

20 days? snoopcester - 27/09/2010 03:22:10 PM 641 Views
I agree with some exception LadyLorraine - 27/09/2010 04:10:32 PM 649 Views
Which Christmas? Tom - 27/09/2010 04:17:36 PM 757 Views
I left it ambiguous on purpose, because I remember you giving me shit about this before. Sareitha Sedai - 27/09/2010 04:28:00 PM 558 Views
Also there should be no Christmas lights switched on before December 1st *NM* Mark - 27/09/2010 03:40:25 PM 318 Views
I would allow it after November 1 for stores, after November 25 for homes. Tom - 27/09/2010 04:15:26 PM 779 Views
Here it's shops that are the problem. We have very few ridiculous gaudy light displays. Tim - 27/09/2010 08:50:07 PM 596 Views
I would be inclined to believe you if I didn't know you were in Scotland. Tom - 29/09/2010 03:24:54 PM 686 Views
Bah, changing the subject! *NM* Tim - 29/09/2010 03:26:07 PM 434 Views

Christmas will spread from my room--a great wind that sweeps over the land like... a great wind! *NM* Ghavrel - 27/09/2010 11:51:19 PM 304 Views
As a matter of fact I am listening to Quem Pastores Laudavere in protest. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/09/2010 01:29:36 AM 307 Views

I've been having that same sensation, but that's nothing unusual for me LadyLorraine - 27/09/2010 02:19:22 PM 664 Views
It's the other way round for me, so that shouldn't be it Camilla - 27/09/2010 02:49:23 PM 755 Views

I heard Christmas songs on the radio about five weeks ago. *NM* Stephen - 27/09/2010 02:46:46 PM 401 Views
I don't listen much to the radio, thankfully. Camilla - 27/09/2010 02:49:59 PM 645 Views
It was in a shopping centre. Stephen - 27/09/2010 03:21:32 PM 713 Views
