When should Christmas lights be put up & when should they be taken down? I've always gone by the rule my Mom used. Up after Thanksgiving & down the week after New Years.
AND...
SHOULD THERE BE A LAW...?
I've already seen 3 stores with Christmas lights and Sale signs up. Jeezus H!, it's not even Halloween yet.
P.S. -NO discussion of religion or religious ornaments, statues, and/or symbols please. (Keep it light)
Thanks.

No law...jeezus...we have enough laws already.
I say if someone wants to celebrate christmas year round, let them! Of course, they may look foolish.
I agree with the store thing though. There is no standard anymore...used to be after Thanksgiving. But Christmas has turned into such an important monetary event for stores (makes or breaks their year), that it has just become a race to attract the holiday business first...totally ridiculous in my opinion.

i know as you don't display them on your house until Thanksgiving and take them down about a week after New Years Day i am OK with that...of course in our area it depends on the weather...one time i was in Texas and some stores had their Christmas stuff out and this was in early August and that is wrong they shouldn't put them out until after Halloween at least
