.....what is too early?
Its kinda tradition and perhaps early by some people's opinion but the Xmas tree and decorations go up in my house on December 1st. But in department stores the stuff has been up for weeks and weeks. I think Christmas starts in September in Departmentstoreland

Xmas is always a sad time for an atheist commie as me...
It's like being the only one without a girlfriend for Halloween or not having a costume for the immaculate conception or being anti-american for easter

People have been shopping since forever. I saw a lady on the news that was half done with christmas shopping a month ago.
Some people decorate their houses too soon. We must pass thanksgiving at least before you decorate your house. That rule should be strictly enforced

i agree. all this christmassy business should start on december, not earlier. too much of a thing kills the thing... if it was christmas all the time, there would be no christmas anymore - and starting it 50 days before diminishes the "effect" or whatever or it.

the main thing that gets on my tits is when you always see that thing in the paper, 'look after your neighbours in the cold weather'.
i live next door to this 84 yr old woman - not once has she called round to see how i am. lazy cow hasn't even taken her milk in for 3 days, for christs sake.

My girlfriend decorates the appartment with all sorts of asinine decorations. But she is cute, so I let her get away with it.

yeah, you dutch have it great... you get twice the presents! :P
my mom always decorates around the first weekend of december... I think that's nice... to me the whole of december has always been the Christmas season... but yeah, november is a bit too early... this year my mom is putting up our tree on the 27th of november (this weekend) which ok, is a bit too early... ahh well...

12 days, thats it ?
if people want to put up stuff at the beginnning of december, that is acceptable, and then take them down just after the new year, they have my vote

yeah yeah definatley, I have no problem with decs in december. The 12 day thing is just what I know as the tradition
But I personaly think that if you can see your house from the moon then you shouldn't be allowed decortaions up AT ALL

"from the moon"
i tend to agree to a point with that
lawn decorations..............TOTALLY SHOULD BE OUTLAWED
but there is this house where my wifes parents live, des moines, they have so many lightbulbs on their house, you prol can see it from the moon
so there are exceptions
its just a basic 2 story house, nothing fance, but ligths everhwere, you gotta like wear sunglasses at nihgt, i wonder how the neighbors sleep :)
