Holiday Decorations – Ho, Ho, Ho or Bah Humbug?

As the holiday season approaches, it is a good time for associations to consider its authority regarding outdoor holiday decorations. Every community is different, and opinions vary about when the holiday decorations should be put up and “how much” is “too much.” Some people want to start decorating for the holidays on November 1, while others think that you should at least wait until after Thanksgiving. Some communities only permit white lights and prohibit “blow up” decorations, while in others “anything goes.” And it is no longer just the December holidays—it has now become more popular to decorate for other holidays such as Easter, Fourth of July, and Halloween. When one holiday ends, another is right around the corner, so you may have some homes with a never-ending carousel of holiday decorations.
