My neighbour has had her house decorated fully for Christmas now for almost two weeks- they started going up on Oct 31st. Fully lit tree in the window, outdoor lights, Christmas wreath on the door- the works.
She’s done this since she moved next door to me five years ago and I assume she did it before that too.
Since I’ve known her, she’s also posted on Insta and her WhatsApp status each year on either Christmas Day or the 26th to show her decorations coming down and a general “I can’t spend another minute looking at them” message.
If she put them up at Christmas and not at Halloween, she wouldn’t be looking at them for all that long.
She’s one of these “I’m daft me” types.
I know there are some exceptions where decorations are put up for different reasons like someone with a terminal illness, a family celebrating early before someone emigrates etc. but those are rare so I’m not factoring then into my thoughts around this.
Am I being unreasonable for thinking that someone who put Christmas decorations up at the end of Oct/early Nov is attention-seeking?

AIBU to think that people who put Christmas decorations up super early are just attention seekers?

I think some people just like the cheer during these dark nights, so it doesn't bother me
I am a bit sniffy about people who rip it all down on Boxing Day though - no idea why it just irks me!
