October 30. A few blocks from me. Before Halloween!!!



At least last year they waited until about November 8th or so.

Would it be OK to go back and throw eggs? After all, it <<IS>> Mischief Night.

Maybe it was for Diwali?

Rule of thumb here is out of respect not until after November 11th.

Good point about Diwali. I also agree that it's very rare here to see full-on Christmas lights up before Remembrance Day.

I LOVE Christmas lights and with the past few years being downers people around here are not only doing it up for Christmas but for Halloween. We're talking fully decked out yards with blow up creatures and orange and purple lights. My kids love it. Bring them on early!

I saw DHS in WDW is putting up some Christmas decor already..

I hope they enjoy it. Good for them.

Usually they at least give it until trick or treating ends tomorrow at 8pm.

I enjoy the holidays, I just don't want to skip over the ones that are actually occurring!

We were in Walmart today and my wife thought they had a lot of Halloween left on the shelf, until she realized it was all Christmas candy.

Before they moved, we had people around the corner who would begin putting together their extensive Christmas display as soon as Lowe’s put stuff out in September. They did not remove them until Easter! We call those the dark years because while their home drew people from near and far to drive by and view (think “Deck the Halls” movie), everyone else stopped putting up decor because we got sick of looking at it for 9 months of the year.

They moved a few years ago and now people decorate normal amounts. The weather has been nice, so we were thinking about putting up our lights soon but not turning them on for a few weeks.

I’ve seen a LOT of Diwali lights this week…. And fireworks.

I don't blame them for putting them up now if the weather was nice. I only hope they were just testing them out and aren't putting them on all the time.

I went walking in a nearby neighborhood and one house had A SANTA ON THE PORCH. No! unacceptable!

Christmas parties start in the MK in just over a week.

I have a lot of neighbors from India so they put up Christmas lights for Diwali but I have one neighbor that keeps them up all year long. They've been up ever since they moved to the neighborhood about 3 years ago. The lights don't bother me but the fireworks do. My dogs are terrified of them and they often set them off until about 12-1 am for the past week or so.

Stores near me have basically forgotten that Halloween is tomorrow and it's all Christmas now. It's a little sad because I really do love Halloween time.

They probably saw my Christmas song thread. Sorry @RedAngie.

We have a neighbor who bought some fancy programmable lights on his house and they stay up all year round. They were programmed to be Green for St. Patricks Day. Orange for Halloween. Red White and Blue for July 4th, etc.

That it does quite true. MK is fall/Halloween and then step on over to DHS and now you're starting to see holiday decor. Or trees appearing elsewhere. Seasonal decor whiplash lol.

If it’s not Diwali, let’s call them All Saints Day Lights.

This is something I will more than likely do in a few years when I'm not housepoor. My wife would love to make me program something like this so it looks "pretty" without having to do any actual work.
