I was joking! What my neighbors do in their own condos or on their own balconies doesn't bother me. Plus, if it did, I would talk to my neighbor directly, I wouldn't tattle to the HOA.

I think it is best to go to your association to complain. Do not confront people directly...it just engenders bad feelings.

They went up the 1st week of Dec. and will probably be down next week or so, but it's been fun to see it for a few weeks!

I love driving around suburbia looking at them. Where I live people add to their light collection every year so their displays are enormous. The days are so short it is nice to have all this light sparkling in the snow and cold. I love holiday lights. I love driving around suburbia looking at them.

I've been following your blog long enough to have known you were kidding even before I finished reading the first paragraph. I love the spirit behind Holiday lights, too, even if I don't share the decorator's taste in colour and flash. My preference is for white, non-blinking, LED lights. My condo's rules specify lights must be removed by January 15th, which seems reasonable to me. LOL.

My aunt lives in a development where the HOA only allows decorations to go up after Dec. 1. If you put it up right after Thanksgiving, you're asked to take it down!
