At some point it should cease being necessary to qualify virtually every statement one makes. But okay.

What do the decorations of the 95% of Americans who put up unobtrusive lights far, far dimmer than streetlights have to do with manners?

EDIT: Qualified.


Obviously those 5 percent are the real problem. Bad manners are not bad manners only if everyone does it. Quite the contrary.

Shops filling up with christmas stuff? snoopcester - 27/09/2010 01:10:00 PM 676 Views
Huh. That could be it. I haven't noticed that, Camilla - 27/09/2010 01:11:58 PM 653 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 359 Views
I am *NM* Camilla - 27/09/2010 01:41:32 PM 429 Views
*raises fist* I'm with you. *NM* Avendesora - 27/09/2010 02:55:01 PM 328 Views
I'd be okay with just mid-November snoopcester - 27/09/2010 02:56:09 PM 638 Views
I would give special dispensation for stores selling crafts materials Sareitha Sedai - 27/09/2010 03:04:49 PM 670 Views
Clearly your motion needs to fail. jh - 27/09/2010 03:08:13 PM 762 Views
As usual you are more sensible than I. Sareitha Sedai - 27/09/2010 03:13:50 PM 794 Views
How does decorating one's home have anything to do with manners? *NM* Ghavrel - 27/09/2010 11:52:11 PM 343 Views
What you do with the outside of your house affects other people Camilla - 28/09/2010 12:36:08 AM 728 Views

How are "obtrusive" lights "bad manners"? LiterateDog - 28/09/2010 01:54:59 AM 650 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 309 Views
Those people and their displays are few and far between. LiterateDog - 28/09/2010 02:52:09 AM 688 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 712 Views
Noise is a completely different matter. LiterateDog - 28/09/2010 03:04:35 AM 708 Views
True. Hence my irritation with having to acknowledge them earlier. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/09/2010 03:32:57 AM 332 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 424 Views
I agree random thoughts - 28/09/2010 04:33:14 PM 639 Views

I agree with some exception LadyLorraine - 27/09/2010 04:10:32 PM 665 Views
Which Christmas? Tom - 27/09/2010 04:17:36 PM 782 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 576 Views
Also there should be no Christmas lights switched on before December 1st *NM* Mark - 27/09/2010 03:40:25 PM 327 Views
I would allow it after November 1 for stores, after November 25 for homes. Tom - 27/09/2010 04:15:26 PM 795 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 612 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 697 Views
Bah, changing the subject! *NM* Tim - 29/09/2010 03:26:07 PM 454 Views

You can come to my house. Rebekah - 27/09/2010 08:38:35 PM 802 Views
May I come too? Elaine - 29/09/2010 02:15:32 PM 1036 Views
You may listen to them quietly. Sareitha Sedai - 27/09/2010 08:39:51 PM 723 Views
Rebekah - 27/09/2010 08:45:48 PM 728 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 312 Views
As a matter of fact I am listening to Quem Pastores Laudavere in protest. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/09/2010 01:29:36 AM 325 Views

Re: Sainsbury's have started putting up Christmas stuff. Camilla - 28/09/2010 08:58:01 AM 854 Views
I've been having that same sensation, but that's nothing unusual for me LadyLorraine - 27/09/2010 02:19:22 PM 679 Views
It's the other way round for me, so that shouldn't be it Camilla - 27/09/2010 02:49:23 PM 770 Views

I heard Christmas songs on the radio about five weeks ago. *NM* Stephen - 27/09/2010 02:46:46 PM 409 Views
I don't listen much to the radio, thankfully. Camilla - 27/09/2010 02:49:59 PM 661 Views
It was in a shopping centre. Stephen - 27/09/2010 03:21:32 PM 741 Views
Based on how warm September has been, I feel like it's still summer. Tom - 27/09/2010 04:19:51 PM 731 Views
It's 10 C here. Camilla - 27/09/2010 04:29:52 PM 646 Views

That is probably it. Camilla - 28/09/2010 08:56:23 AM 698 Views
