Some people are still lighting theirs up at night!
my brother leaves his up all year round too. no problem, easier than restringing the fucking things. chill out man/woman.
My neighbour went out last week to change the bulbs from Chrismas colors to red/white for Olympics. I wonder what colors he’ll put up for Gay Pride?
fine if you dont want to take them down…just turn them off 11 months of the year.
sebastian_ – he’s use Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple. You’ll see lots of pride colours this year 🙂
By change would these Olympic lights be on Dundas St. (or perhaps Wentworth) in Dartmouth?
fuck, that should read “He’ll use….” Typing at 4am sucks.
Why do people CARE so much about what their neighbors are doing to decorations on THEIR homes? There are SO MANY other things you could observe from this like what a happy family to feel festive all year round! Think outside of the box, bitches, and pick your battles wisely. This is a stupid thing to get your knickers in a knot over let alone NOTICE.
Yeah, just think of the people that decorate other peoples’ front steps with shit……. I think Christmas lights would have been a more than acceptable alternative 😉
kay… neighbors I can see because of property values…
but random people not in your neighborhood as you drive by?!?!
a little excessive.
I love the argument that these people employ: “they’re Winter decorations. See? That’s a snowman!” Never mind the snowman has a candy cane in it’s hand, and a Xmas tree in the other, topped off with a hat that says “HO HO HO!”. Not Xmas indeed.
yeah decorative lights…who gives a shit. stay away stoop poopers. my street has canadian flags all over it
Christmas lights on the neighbour’s house is NOT going to affect said property value but I see people bitch for no good reason and without a leg to stand on every single day.
I am in favour of keeping the lights up as long as possible.
This time of year is far too dreary and grey, so I am all for a bit of colour to brighten things up.
I’m not a “Christmans-y” person at all, but having coloured lights on in the wintertime is one of the few things I actually enjoy about the winter season.
My vote would be for more lights, less of the other Christmas stuff.
kay, no?
you don’t think having this up year round would affect your property value if they lived next door?

So THAT’s how you pad your post-count……… haha
Actually, you could make a complaint under the Dangerous and Unsightly by-law, if it’s excessive. After all, the process is entirely anonymous, and would probably force them to take down the lights.
And here I though that LTWWB was passive aggressive.
