This takes the cake!

I was driving home from the store before and saw that one of my neighbors has the house decked out for Christmas already. I am talking tons of lights, Christmas tree fully decorated and LIT in the window, and an 8 foot SNOWMAN on the lawn.
SNOWMAN!! And it was like 70 degrees today.
Uh hello? It's VETERAN'S DAY!
What happened to Thanksgiving?
For some reason this really irritates the cr@p out of me!
Such a Pet Peeve of mine!
I felt like rolling down my window and yelling to the guy outside- "DID I MISS THANKSGIVING????"

I'm not on "his" side...but I really can't blame him....I would take advantage of the warm weather and try to put out our outdoor decorations as well....

I hate when it suddently gets FREEZING cold and I'm outside on the roof trying not to slide off b/c I'm putting up the lights!

I'm kinda guilty of this, I had my lights put up Friday night, although I wont turn them on until after Thanksgiving.

We love it because Damien loves to look for lights on the way home from workChat Icon


I have seen one house that has a tree up already.


I think some people may put them up early if they have a family member leaving for IraqChat Icon

i have to agree with this. I think I would put up lights and other stuff so that i don't freeze my azz off later. i wouldn't put the snowman up. we actually wait till almost february to take the lights down due to the weather and coldnes..

I was in Babies R Us yesterday and I heard Christmas music. Driving home from dinner last night, we passed a house with a Christmas tree lit and in the window.
I turned to dh and said "What the heck happened to Thanksgiving"?

I miss seeing Thanksgiving decorations- I love all those colors.

DH and I went out to dinner last night at a place that's had its Christmas stuff up since right after Halloween.

We are going out for Thanksgiving dinner- I really hope there aren't Christmas decorations all over the place.

Re: This takes the cake!

I have to agree It feels like they dont even think of Thanksgiving as a Holiday they Just ,jump from Halloween to Christmas I feel like saying to the people in the stores "What Happened to Thanksgiving?"Like I said last week I went into 7 11 and they had christmas stuff already and I did make a VComment I was like Christmas decoratons already! he laughed.

Re: This takes the cake!

I've already seen about 6 houses with Christmas lights.

I seriously saw a house BEFORE halloween that was full blown decorated for christmas. I was going to call z100 to tell them because I thought it was so crazy. I leave the house at 6:15 so I saw it in the morning before they turned the lights off for the day.

I asked my friend who lives near them and she said they are elderly so they decorate early so they don't have to do it in the cold.

I hope these are not the people who complain that their lipa bills are so high!!-lol!!
The most expensive time of the year for me is December and we don't have that many decorations outside with lights.

Oh I am ALL FOR hanging the lights early because I have done it in the bitter cold and I agree, it is NO fun. But the thing with him is - he has them LIT already AND inside the house is a tree, fully lit and you can see further back to a mantel with stockings and lights- all done up. On VETERAN'S DAY!
They did this last year too.
