    Or it puts a smile on my wife’s and kids face.

    And who wants to put up decorations when there’s 3 feet of snow and it’s -20c out.

    Let other people have joy in the little things, doesn’t hurt you.

      I hate to say it, but how can it be precious if it is not special? You could have Christmas decorations and music all year round, but then nobody would smile because there would be no special time anymore with which it’d be associated.

      Edit: Additionally, if it is not in anticipation of something special, the flashiness just becomes plain annoying.

        I could have Christmas up all year, but than it loses it magic.

        It’s from after Halloween, to new years.

        What’s magic to someone else won’t be magic to you, don’t shit on other peoples happiness just to make you happier. That’s what’s destroying this world.

        Okay I will say I forgot about that, that’s a drivers rules thing, if I’m driving maybe one or two, but if the wife’s driving it’s her radio unfortunately.
