Put them up, just don't turn them on yet.

Who cares when people put up their Christmas lights? As long as it’s not before Halloween.

It can be very confusing for the children to see happy looking Christmas decorations when they’re supposed to be seeing scary Halloween decorations.

Perhaps you have forgotten now how limited and unpredictable the weather window in Calgary is for putting up any kind of decorations.

You've got to try to get it in between the rain, gale force winds, and blizzards. But also after the wasps are cold-killed.

I've always operated on the "put them up whenever, but turn them on after November 11th as a sign of respect" principle.

If that's your preference, fine.

I used to be in your line of thinking, but honestly, if it makes you happy to put them on before Nov 11 go ahead and do it.

The world needs more happiness.

Such time wasters, have them installed when you buy the house and leave them there. Upgrade by installing a timer so you don’t waste time touching the switch.

I'm only partly in favour of the never take them down. Not because of the respect angle or anything, but depending on what exactly we're talking about it just looks ridiculously trashy. I do want people taking care of their property.

People who don't take their Xmas lights down probably don't make their bed every day.

Which is what I am.

You can leave your Xmas lights up all year, but I'm going to judge you for it... especially those ugly assed icicle lights.

So a guy at work this morning tells me a story about a flight attendant who was murdered at Pearson airport in 2007 and her body found in a house over a decade later. I had never heard the story and he's pretty reliable so I looked it up.


All I could find was some cold-case youtube channel that had a 48 minute video. I didn't have time to watch yet, but scrolling down, apparently every single case on the channel is made up for entertainment purposes.


WTF
