This person couldn't have undecorated fast enough for one of their neighbors. 

It seems like every year people debate how long it's okay to leave holiday decorations up until. Is it okay to leave a Christmas tree up until February? What about leaving holiday lights up year-round? And when exactly should you switch from Thanksgiving decorations to Hanukkah or Christmas ones? 

It varies differently from family to family. Plus, people set up their decorations at different times, too. Some love to start decorating for the spooky festivities on October 1, while others might wait until the day of Halloween to decorate for a pumpkin-carving party.

    BNabs23 Genuine question, was this written by a scared elementary school kid? 10.0k DrinkBlueGoo Reply Everything about it is identical to how a note from my 9-year- old would look. Especially the emoji. Though, she would make it a cat.

    Reneficia 0 MIbeneficialsOG sounds like these need to stay up another couple months - decorate them for Xmas w sweaters 13.9k Pammywhacked Reply Share There is a house in my neighborhood that keep a family of skeletons in their yard and dresses them up for every holiday and season. They also pose them doing different seasonal activities, sledding, sunbathing, and raking leaves. It's like an art piece, and everybody loves it.

    librarianjenn In addition of course to leaving them up longer, I'd get a red pen, correct all of the grammar mistakes, and return it to them.

    veryblanduser Horrible spelling, ridiculous demands, but I love the slightly turned/off center angry faces, they really work at conveying the message. 793 decomposition_. Reply Share This reads like a child wrote it 295 roboticLOGIC. Reply Sha I seriously think a child wrote it. An adult would say the decorations are ugly or out of season, but a child would say they're creepy

    sonamata Imagine having the time for this 188 TashKat Reply Share I would love to have the time to care, at all, about other people's houses. Where do people find the time to police what makes others happy? Put up your Christmas tree in September. Keep your Halloween decorations until June. I honestly don't understand why other people care.

  • That's why it's especially funny that this person got two notes from their neighbor demanding they take down all decorations. Why? Because their neighbor isn't a fan of these scary props. As the neighbor writes about one item, “That evil piece of garbage is scaring a lot of people… it's even scarier when it's all lit up!”

    Debate raged in the comments: were these notes written by an eight-year-old with a Halloween fear, or an adult with terrible spelling and handwriting and an odd fear of decorations? Most people presumed the writer was a child… but why would a child have such a strong vendetta against this neighbor?
