20 days? snoopcester Send a noteboard - 27/09/2010 03:22:10 PM
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.



Christmas decorations should be taken down by Twelfth Night.

Shops filling up with christmas stuff? snoopcester - 27/09/2010 01:10:00 PM 572 Views
Huh. That could be it. I haven't noticed that, Camilla - 27/09/2010 01:11:58 PM 547 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 299 Views
I am *NM* Camilla - 27/09/2010 01:41:32 PM 375 Views
*raises fist* I'm with you. *NM* Avendesora - 27/09/2010 02:55:01 PM 275 Views
I'd be okay with just mid-November snoopcester - 27/09/2010 02:56:09 PM 539 Views
I would give special dispensation for stores selling crafts materials Sareitha Sedai - 27/09/2010 03:04:49 PM 561 Views
Clearly your motion needs to fail. jh - 27/09/2010 03:08:13 PM 652 Views
As usual you are more sensible than I. Sareitha Sedai - 27/09/2010 03:13:50 PM 681 Views
How does decorating one's home have anything to do with manners? *NM* Ghavrel - 27/09/2010 11:52:11 PM 289 Views
What you do with the outside of your house affects other people Camilla - 28/09/2010 12:36:08 AM 614 Views

How are "obtrusive" lights "bad manners"? LiterateDog - 28/09/2010 01:54:59 AM 541 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 243 Views
Those people and their displays are few and far between. LiterateDog - 28/09/2010 02:52:09 AM 575 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 598 Views
Noise is a completely different matter. LiterateDog - 28/09/2010 03:04:35 AM 582 Views
True. Hence my irritation with having to acknowledge them earlier. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/09/2010 03:32:57 AM 275 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 370 Views
I agree random thoughts - 28/09/2010 04:33:14 PM 533 Views

Which Christmas? Tom - 27/09/2010 04:17:36 PM 661 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 470 Views
Also there should be no Christmas lights switched on before December 1st *NM* Mark - 27/09/2010 03:40:25 PM 278 Views
I would allow it after November 1 for stores, after November 25 for homes. Tom - 27/09/2010 04:15:26 PM 643 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 503 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 595 Views
Bah, changing the subject! *NM* Tim - 29/09/2010 03:26:07 PM 394 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 264 Views
As a matter of fact I am listening to Quem Pastores Laudavere in protest. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/09/2010 01:29:36 AM 253 Views

I've been having that same sensation, but that's nothing unusual for me LadyLorraine - 27/09/2010 02:19:22 PM 571 Views
It's the other way round for me, so that shouldn't be it Camilla - 27/09/2010 02:49:23 PM 662 Views

I heard Christmas songs on the radio about five weeks ago. *NM* Stephen - 27/09/2010 02:46:46 PM 358 Views
I don't listen much to the radio, thankfully. Camilla - 27/09/2010 02:49:59 PM 553 Views
It was in a shopping centre. Stephen - 27/09/2010 03:21:32 PM 613 Views
