“Our board was tired of seeing people leave decorations up too long after holidays ended so they passed a rule last July that we could only have decorations up 15 days prior and must be taken down 15 days after a holiday. Some people might think that rule is okay. But I like to decorate for halloween on October 1st to have the decorations up all of October.”

“When they passed this rule, I was livid. I realized that they never mentioned which holidays we could decorate for, so the first thing I did was go out and buy red, white and blue lights. I decorated for the 4th of July and you better believe I left those annoying lights up until July 19th.

Problem is there really aren’t major holidays from July on until October. BUT the HOA did not say it had to be a major holiday. After July 19th, I decorated for International Beer day which was on August 4th with the same red, white and blue lights up for the 4th of July but I removed the sign that said ‘Happy Independence Day’ and replaced it with a sign I made myself that read ‘Happy International Beer Day.’

On August 19th, I changed the sign to Happy National Aviation Day. I kept the same lights up though. Next was Labor Day. Yep. Just changed the sign again. On September 19th, I started celebrating Rosh Hashanah. Because again, they never indicated which holidays we could decorate for.

I kept this up over the holidays where I started with Veteran’s Day after Halloween and then went to Thanksgiving and Hanukkah.

The board met and tried to pass a rule saying which holidays we could decorate for, BUT they couldn’t get the vote when they tried to just include New Years, Valentine’s Day, 4th of July, Halloween, and Christmas. They didn’t include any Jewish Holidays or any other non-Christian holidays like Ramadan and a lot of people voiced their displeasure with that.

So they are going to meet again and I think they are just going to change the rule to make decorations come down for the holidays in a reasonable time and not put restrictions on when we can start.”
