Over the last couple of weeks I noticed a handful of houses around my neighborhood and some of the areas I drive regularly finally take down their Christmas lights. This wasn't a situation where the lights were up but not on. The lights were turned on every evening like it was Christmas season.
I have also noticed that an office in my building has a Christmas tree up in a meeting room visible from a public hallway. I haven't seen it lit in a few weeks, but it is still prominently displayed.
Part of me is irrationally irritated at this. However, my irritation doesn't make sense. If someone wants to leave lights up it isn't my business, and really Christmas displays are attractive. It's just that seeing Christmas displays feels incongruous with the season.
I think this part of me is a little hypocritical as well. I have believed and continue to believe that certain fashion rules are made to be broken. This shouldn't be any different, right? Is a lit Christmas display in February the equivalent of an all-white outfit in November?
