    Coming home from the Cinema I noticed some on my Street suffer from Premature Decoration...

    Bad enough it's November, but the decorations were tacky and garish

    So when's the right time to put up your (externally visible) Xmas Decs?

    But is very relevant. In December the point is moot.

    Wouldn't that fall under "whenever you like?"

    I think the first of December would be acceptable. Any sooner and it'd be a bit ridiculous. I've seen a couple of atrociously decorated houses myself this week already.

    Usually put them up one week before Christmas Day,hate having to wait until after January 6 to take them down.December 24 to 27 would suit me fine.

    I would agree, but some appear not to.

    I blame Tesco.

    Christmas film channels started airing at the end of September. I also saw a Christmas section in a supermarket at that time. That's being ridiculous.

    After Halloween onwards (once it's just bit by bit rather than the whole hog immediately) is fine by me.

    They SHOULD go up whenever anyone so pleases. I've no major strong feelings on them being too early or whatever. Well no I have to say I don't want to see Xmas Deccies in September. But I have noticed around town lately stuff is up alright, butttt there's no Xmas music in places yet like! And it feels like there's something missing and that's just ridiculous!

    I respect your right to put your Xmas decorations up as early as you want.

    But please respect my right to call you a cnut.
