re: Does anybody else think Christmas lights are going up too early

Friend,
There is nothing subjective about the impropriety of hanging Christmas lights before Advent. The Christian calendar has already settled the matter. Advent is the Church’s New Year, a season of holy anticipation in which we prepare for the coming of the Light of the World. Until the first Sunday of Advent, November 29 this year, the lights, carols, wreaths, and other Christmas trappings ought to remain in their boxes.
There is goodness and virtue in waiting, and for all things there is a season. Please remind those you see transgressing the holy calendar that God expects us to wait. I beseech you, good people, resist the temptation to rush the calendar. The anticipation is part of the celebration.
Yours,
TulaneLSU

Put the tree up over the weekend and putting the outside lights on this upcoming weekend. shite is too much work to leave up for only one month.

My lovely and gracious spouse had me in the attic removing the artificial tree this afternoon.
I tried to do it in good spirits but taking down Rubbermaid tubs full of decorations began working on my nerves. "Now, the green one with...no, no, not that one!" "Now, the one to your right. Nope, that's not it."
Last year we decided to leave the lights on the tree and put it in a big bag and just pop it up. But, nooooooo, she's not sure the lights will look right. So, here we go untangling those suckers and re-testing them.
In a couple of months, it will be Mardi Gras decor.
Do attorneys ever run holiday divorce specials? I might be willing to entertain that option. Maybe not.

WAY too early.
It’s completely retarded to have 1/6th of the year be Christmas and then skip the ACTUAL Christmas season of 25th-6th and relegate thanksgiving to a secondary holiday.

The River 96.1 in BR has started their Christmas music already! Wtf. Just got over Halloween, sad station.

Christmas is my favorite holiday and I put Christmas lights up all over my house and yard every year, but I don’t start putting them up until the day after Thanksgiving.
It actually pisses me off when I go to Dollar General bc they’ll have Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas stuff out all at the same time. They don’t care about anyone enjoying the actual holiday that’s happening at that time. It’s all about money.
I know it’s nothing new when it comes to being all about money, but it seems like you were able to celebrate each individual holiday without having all of them shoved down your throat at the same time.
I don’t want to see costumes on one isle and then Christmas decorations on the next.

I seen some old people putting them up in my subdivision today with the weather nice. If it gives them happiness and keeps them from doing it in the cold then that's cool with me. Just hope the HOA don't come after them.

Most people aren’t putting them up anymore so they gotta be fit in when they can on a schedule.
Posted on 11/9/26 at 7:46 pm to UFFan
As long as they’re tasteful clear lights, I think it’s fine. It’s a welcome addition to the street at a time when it gets dark way too early.
But if someone’s going overboard with the flashy blinky multi-colored lights and inflatable Santa Claus on Nov 9, they may need to chill.

Here’s my million dollar idea. Wire permanent lights to your house. Just change the colors via your phone for each season. Red/Green for Christmas, Orange for Halloween, pastels for Easter, Red/white/blue for Summer, etc. You could even have small LED pin lights installed on your home to create seasonal storyboards synched with music.
It’s probably already available via China

There's lights and balls in our airport already. I can't remember if there's a tree as well.

One of my neighbors had his up before Halloween.
He said the company offered him a discount to put them up early

My Govee's light up for every holiday...even Thanksgiving.
On the off season they are good, regular houselights/security lighting.

I'd rather them go up early than taken down later (like in Feb/March).

It's only November 9. And actually I think I started seeing Christmas lights on November 1, the day after Halloween.
Maybe those people never took them down. Some folks like to celebrate Christmas all year long. It's still a free country at least until January.

Christmas lights are on an bright in my neighborhood but its not necessarily because people want the lights on their house now, but the installers have so many customers and potential customers, that they knock out the annual customers first. I had mine installed on November 4th. Its not something I wanted but if I defer a few weeks there is the high risk of delays taking it into December, and for the cost/benefit you would rather get installed early than late.
Same thing goes for interior decor. Although we have not put up anything inside yet, once Thanksgiving week arrives life gets crazy for us until after the new year, so waiting until Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend is not feasible. We have to get it done no later than a week prior.
Yes I agree that the fall/Thanksgiving decor is special. My Aunt throws a big dinner and I am in charge of providing the decor such as flower/centerpiece arrangements. I get it. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.

That’s the answer. There is a plug, and there is an on/off switch.
Some people need something to bitch about constantly.
