I flew by a Home last night with full bright square prim snow, full bright trees, full bright everything. I don’t know how those neighbors are coping, lol! Call me crazy, but I would love to live next-door to somebody like that. For the record, I had the most heavily decorated house on my block, during the Halloween season. A crypt with lightening flashes & bats, a cemetery, lots of fog, sound effects, a skeleton candy dispenser, and a ghoul that sprayed vomit when you walk past it. It was awesome. Gaudy holiday decor is so much fun. 🤩 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chances of being reported are slim. There's always that one person though, that Scrooge who doesn't get laid often enough, and they love to tattle about such things. Put a large snowman out in front, holding a sign that reads "Snitches get stitches". 🤣 See how that works. 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a religious holiday that I don’t participate in since it’s not my religion. Making ill-informed and hateful “jokes” is religious intolerance and bigoted. That one person you refer to probably has valid reasons for disliking the holidays that are completely unrelated to Charles Dickens or sex. Glad you’re not my neighbor. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live and let live, babe. Just because someone doesn't agree with you that rules are made to be flaunted, doesn't mean you get to threaten bodily harm. /me gives you a copy of Rousseau's "Social Contract" for Christmas. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roseelvira Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 In real life it takes the joy away from the special time christmas is with the decoration put up in stores before halloween is over !!!! I remember a time when the holiday decorating started after thanksgiving . No one ever put the decoration up before a certain time. The outside cristmas lights were put up towards the evening. First Sunday in December every year was the day closer to evening for the lights to be put up. In childhood years we knew the First Sundayin December lights went up and that was the start of waiting for Santa. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckey Jigsaw Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 We always start decorating around the 1st of Advent, as @roseelvira stated above, it's the first sunday in december. And we put the decorations down around the 8th of january, after the Epiphany. Some people even do it right after the New Years, which I think is totally fine, since it has been up long enough by then. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Dakota Linden Posted November 12, 2019 Moderators Share Posted November 12, 2019 Greetings all! Good News! Abuse Reports are completely anonymous, so unless you tell someone that you filed an AR the person who was reported has absolutely no way of finding out, if or who, filed the Abuse Report. Linden Home regions have a covenant that must be followed, by every owner. Any parcel that has content that you believe violates the covenant should be reported by submitting an Abuse Report and the Governance Team will be able to review the report as quickly as possible. 5 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You read all of that into what I joked about? I honestly don't think anybody commits suicide over gaudy holiday decor in Second Life. This is the wackiest knee-jerk reaction I've ever seen in my entire 20 years on the internet. Have a cookie and chill. I'm an Atheist, btw... so you can miss me with that "religious intolerance" stuff, mmmkay? IF you did a small bit of research, you would find that Yule (as it was originally called) is a pagan holiday that was appropriated by christians. Either way, it's not a religious thing for me. I simply enjoy the aesthetics. Have a nice day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
