Take the lights down, dude

When I went to work this week, I noticed that Downtown Silver Spring had put up wreaths on the lampposts along Georgia and on Ellsworth. I just sort of rolled my eyes; it's like how there's already Christmas trees and displays of decorations at Target.

Then tonight, I was driving to tap, and I saw four houses with Christmas lights up. Four. Are they kidding? It's not even mid-November, much less after Thanksgiving, which is when holiday decorations are allowed to go up. People, just because you can buy Christmas lights directly after Halloween doesn't mean you should.
