Christmas Decorations

It seems as the years go on, the earlier and earlier Christmas decorations get put up. I know people who put up their Christmas tree the day after Halloween. That is just ridiculous. To me, Christmas decorations should be put up NO EARLIER than the day after Thanksgiving. That is a whole month of enjoying your pretty tree and lights. Now another hot topic is when is an appropriate time to take down your decorations. To me your decorations should be off within the few days after New Years. But as long as you get them off within a few weeks after Christmas, you are fine. But please do not leave your Christmas lights up all year. They are decorations, not house light. Another issue I have been noticing is that more and more houses are over decorating their houses. Please do not make your house visible from space. Lights edging your roof and on your bushes or trees is fine. But buying out Lowe's of Christmas lights and covering your house with them is just too much. Now when it comes to blow up decorations, a Santa here and a snowman there is perfect. Having your yard looking like the North Pole is tacky. Follow these simple rules and you will have a very successful Christmas
