Christmas fairy lights

[Fishmanpa]

It's only 2 days till Halloween and a family around the corner from us have had their big hulking strobe-like Christmas lights up for the past week already.

I"m by no means a killjoy, plus I usually try to have as much as a 'live and let live' attitude as possible and I do love Christmas lights in general, but isn't it still a bit premature in October to make the outside of one's house look like a disco?

Plus it's enough to induce an epileptic seizure when I"m walking the dog in the evening, even though (touch wood) I've never suffered from epilepsy.

Why does this bother you? Who cares what other people do for the holidays? There are some really extreme Halloween decorations as well as other holidays in my neighborhood but eh... to each their own regardless of my 'opinion'. Yeah, some can be extreme but why let it bother you to the point of posting about it?

Today my sister posted (on FB) some pictures of her friends living room. I nearly fell off my sofa, the Christmas tree was up! When I zoomed in it was covered in Halloween decorations. I thought it was a novel idea.

I am rather partial to the little white sparkly lights that get put up in trees around our town centre. Not so fussed about flashing santas though (not the rude kind of flashing &#128513.

You're right that it's rather trivial in the grand scheme of things and not realIy my immediate problem, plus I did say that I"m no killjoy and I normally have a 'live and let live' philosophy, but I'm still entitled to my opinion that it's still a tad premature right now.

Of course, hardly the end of the world though!

Wow, a 'Halloween' tree!
Originality is always key.

You? Live and let live? You hardly ever have a positive thing to say about anybody or anything!

Sorry BI, but I resent that remark.

Like I said to FMP, I have a right to express my opinion about not wishing to be visually assaulted by outdoor fairy lights with a strobe-like effect, plus I believe the family who currently have them blaring away right now don't appear to be showing any consideration for their immediate neighbours.

Thank god their house isn't in view of ours!

I'm sorry for causing offence, but you do seem to have a really negative outlook and not a whole lot of respect for your fellow human beings.

It wouldn't be so bad if you ever showed enthusiasm for anything. If that's the way you're content to be, though, not my business, especially when I don't have the good sense not to click.
