Mr Gobby Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I really don't undersatand some people. I went for a walk an hour or so ago when i came a cross a guy on-top of a alluminum ladder putting up Xmas decorations, now it was pretty obvious the snow had turned to ice so why in gods name stand a ladder on it , why climb up the best part of 30' without any head protection even more so just having a t shirt on and jogging bottoms. Is so important to put up outside decoration so early with out a thought that you could kill yourself or is it just plain stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missflirtuk Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 It is just plain stupidity, it's not even December yet. What happened to having them up 12 days before and taking them down 12 days after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxon51 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Or, like in the case of a house in Eastwood, Rotherham, keep them up 365 days of the year, but never switch them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missflirtuk Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Suppose it saves time for them . I will never know why people keep them up all the time. I suppose it would be worse if they had them switched on yearly . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened to having them up 12 days before and taking them down 12 days after?you aren't supposed to have them up for 24 days just 12 days, hence the carol. Twelfth night is when parts of mainland Europe traditionally give presents. Spain, Italy and Portugal do that I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missflirtuk Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Ah well some people don't have them up for the 12 days anyway, they are up for 12 weeks in some cases . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
