Christmas Lights Up and On?

As I stepped out to my back porch last night for a variety of reasons involving politics, I let the dog out and as I peered across the yard I saw a glimmer of lights in the distance. It was then I realized a neighbor put up Christmas Lights. I mean what the??? It's November 5th! But this makes it okay right? I am a huge Halloween and October person and do up Halloween in a big way. I am always told, it's way too early for that, or come on you should take that down now.

I love Christmas as much as the next guy, but why is it wrong for me to have Halloween Decorations up and celebrate that with my kids starting the last weekend of September / October 1st, but Christmas Lights up and on November 5th is fine.

Also, that brings me to the other topic I am told which is why celebrate that pagan holiday. Then when I go into talking with them they say their child is dressing up for a Fall Festival. Okay so you are banning a Pagan Holiday by creating a Pagan Holiday to still be able to celebrate like a loophole. It's like saying I don't let my kids experience magic so no Harry Potter, but its okay to watch all the Disney Magic stuff. Really People.

Well, I am done ranting for the moment but if you agree with me or not let me know. Christmas Lights Up and On ALREADY?
