Some Idiot Is Putting Christmas Lights Up Already

There should be a law saying you can only celebrate one holiday at a time. I think he is taking the nightmare before christmas a little too far.

lol Yeah, my family usually takes the big decos down, but we get lazy and we leave our roof lights on year-round, so that we wouldn't have to put em up or take em down.
They did WHAT??!.... disbelief

Yeah, before you know it we will still be sending up new year´s fireworks when the easter bunny comes hopping along. But seeing little witches wrestle down santa to get to the candy first on Christmas will probably feel even weirder.

Funny thing, this year I see a lot of folks rollin out with orange 'xmas style' lights on their windows and house tops for halloween. I don't remember seeing halloween lights... guess the light bulb manufacturers will promote anything for a dollar.

One of the people I saw putting them up called them "autumn lights" LMAO! lol And then told me that the little fine white lights were "winter lights" that could stay up beyond xmas. rolleyes

I understand putting lights up while it is still warm and there is no snow on the roof, but this is a little premature. I used to put lights up every year, but two years ago the lights were trapped under heavy ice and I had to wait until late February to take them down. I don't even bother now.

Stores have begun putting up the Christmas displays. Christmas Trees are up along with the decorations.

The buying season has begun.

In Minnesota you have to put up your lights now because it can officially snow anytime. We had 4 inches in northern Minnesota today.

I would hate to be climbing a roof covered with snow and ice.
