Are They Kidding??? Some People!!!

Maybe it was for Diwali?

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

Out of respect for what? Just curious.

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.

A product called "gem lighting", which is built-in to the soffits of new homes under construction, is starting to be a fairly common upgrade on our houses. They can be programmed via mobile device/app for all sorts of colours and sequences and with the addition of built-in speakers on the exterior, can also coordinate a lights/music display. All-in, it's about a $3,000.00 touch. In 2022, more of our customers bought this upgrade than they did central A/C.

The rule at my house is no Christmas stuff until the day after Thanksgiving, but I guess I don't mind if there are people who celebrate early. So many terrible happenings in the world today that a little light is quite welcome.

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

Seriously, who cares??? I can think of a whole lot worse things than having some lights brightening up the area.

LOL. I have a cousin with a very nice house on Elbow Valley Lake in Calgary. We had a family reunion at his house about 15 years ago, and it was pretty warm. A mutual cousin (from Ottawa) commented that he had "a million dollar house but was too cheap to spring for central AC"

November 11th is Remembrance Day. In many Commonwealth countries that’s considered a very solemn day of reflection

It is their house, their property, they can decorate it however they want. If they want to put Christmas decorations out, then they have a right to do it on their property. It looks like they are already into the Christmas spirit.

Ohhh if I was rebuilding again I would go for this..
but I’m never building again..

My kind of people!

Their house their rules. They are paying the electric bill so it's their business. I think it's wonderful to celebrate anything these days so I say go for it. Put up those Halloween/Turkey Day/Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanza/anything else decorations!

Celebrate!

Just looked this up… Gemstone lighting… It has the potential to really irritate the neighbors but I love it.

I’m looking at the white and multi-colored strands of lights decorating my neighbor’s house right now. They’re for Diwali.

This would be worth every penny, IMO.

My pandemic rule of thumb- If it's not causing anyone any harm and it brings you joy, go for it!

Honestly who cares? Its a few pretty lights.

 

[bsmcneil]

I have to say - I'm normally a Thanksgiving weekend guy but this year, I've been in the mood to put them up early.

It's also Veterans Day in the US. It's pretty easy to leave the lights off that day.

One thing about this is the weather sure feels like Christmas and it is sure the perfect time, especially before it starts snowing and if you are going to go big on decorations and lights or even have a big light show. As for me, I also start play Christmas music on the piano and listening to Christmas music this time of year. Both, Thanksgiving and Christmas go hand in hand and have the very same meaning of love, giving, and being thankful and grateful.

That too. Ours are up as husband did it while weather was nice this week. But we won’t turn them on until November 12th.

 

[BayouQueen]

Oh....Diwali !!
That explains all the "Christmas" lights we're seeing in our neighborhood. For whatever reason, this year almost nobody has Halloween stuff out -- not even a pumpkin. But there are quite a few with the festive colored lights. They're nice. I'll take it.

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

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

A lot of people are going through rough times right now, especially kids. If this helps them feel better I'm happy for them.
