Okay folks. It's March. Don't you think you could take down your Christmas wreathes? It's true, you can tie the red ribbon bow into a heart for Valentine's Day, but the green is gone on these wreathes and they won't bend into a clover for St. Patrick's Day. Take down the Christmas stuff! Please. |

Amen! If it weren't for the potential of a lawsuit, we could list the addresses of the offenders or post pictures of them! |

Absolutely agree! We should haunt these people day and night until they comply.... perhaps we could hold candle-light vigils in front of the offending houses.
Better yet, let's use torches instead of candles! |

But it's still ok to Be About Peace, right? Just not about Christmas.

Hear, hear. I always kind of laugh when I see the Christmas dex still up, because I know I'll get to read about it on MOL.
Here's a funny story from when my kid was a baby - maybe one year old. I (and she, theoretically) made a scarecrow at Halloween. Well you know, I was a working mom with a baby, and i didn't get around to getting rid of it from my front step for a while.
In January that year, my dad was in the area for a business trip and planned to stay overnight at my house. He showed up at dusk - visibility wasn't great. He nearly had a heart attack because he thought there was a dead bum on my porch!!
"Catherine," he said. "It's January! Get rid of he Halloween decorations already before somebody thinks you're the Addams family!"
I learned my lesson.  But I don't pay much attention to what other people do. |

I don't have to take holiday decorations down, because I don't put them up. What family does that make me from? |

Tom, are you married? Not to sound too personal, but if you aren't, that would make sense. If you are, perhaps you found a mate that doesn't like to decorate., too. |

Yes, very happily married. Neither of us is much into decoration. We complement each other in many things, but not in this. |

I think we're missing the point here, people. When are we getting our torches lit and marching on these people's houses?
I bet we can get a good deal on pitchforks at Home Depot too.
Do you think it would be going overboard to sow their lawns with salt? That might be a good warning to everyone to get those decorations down promptly.
Just let me know when! |

We keep some of the Halloween stuff up all year because it is our favorite holiday. We do update a bit though to keep up with the current season. Right now the skeleton on the door and the mummy candles on the mantel have felt snowman medallions hanging around their necks.
However, I just noticed that The Frankenstein candle, next to the mummies, still has a blue tinsel necklace. Guess we are a bit late with that one. Maybe I'll just wait another week or so and stick him in giant egg or find some teeny tiny rabbit ears for his head.
Suggestions? |
