I totally agree with you Darryl.
The one thing people over look when complaining about decorations being up too early is, it takes lots of time and volunteers to make it look nice. I have already been decorating for Christmas Open House at the Historical Society (since Nov.8th). The Open House is Dec. 6th. That leaves me only a few weekends to decorate. To all of those complainers about Thanksgiving being forgotten… you are dead wrong. As a retired grocery worker, Thanksgiving is not forgotten in the least. That is the busiest time of the year for us. Because every American celebrates Thanksgiving, and not all celebrate Christmas. The worst thing about the holidays is the big corporations keep their business open. Thanksgiving and Christmas WERE mandatory days off. Now most places seem to be open (greed). I hated to work one minute of Thanksgiving and Christmas. (yes, I was the grumpy cashier forced to work on Thanksgiving) So put up the decorations early, they make me smile too.
The world has become such a hard and difficult place, there’s nothing wrong with putting up decorations and spreading joy! :)
The photo reminds me that the city still has not credited George Massie for the quotation on the window that appears over the Christmas Tree.
Hmm… you sure? Pretty sure Massie’s name is there somewhere…
It has been a year since Ken Striplin told me that credit would be given, as of about a month ago I failed to see it. For a short time they wrote his name on a piece of paper and put it on the 1st floor wall.
Maybe you can get them to credit the website where the quote and all of the photographs came from :)
nicely written Darryl……happy holidays to you and yours
I love the Christmas decorations too. I just don’t like to see them before Halloween!
Before Thanksgiving is fine.
I do like Thanksgiving decorations though and my house is decorated inside and out for that holiday first, then Christmas goes up the on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
I wish some of the shopping malls would update their tired faded decorations in the parking lots though.
For how politically correct people are about Christmas, I’m just happy there’s decorations going up at all.
Darryl, I LOVE Christmas decorations, no matter when they go up. I have a little fiber optics Christmas tree plugged into my computer 365 days a year… so shame on me? And MERRY CHRISTMAS! I will be praying for you for returning health. Hope you get a chance to join us at the Veterans Historical Plaza at 6PM on December 7th for the Military Honor Christmas Tree Lighting!It has pictures of Veterans and Active Military all over it and we’d love to have your picture there as well. Send one to prayerangelsforthemilitary@yahoo.com and we will put you on the Christmas Tree!!
Great article! Thanks.
DECEMBER 6th!!!
loved this article…That you.And thank you for mentioning GOD. Without HIM,Im sunk…Merry Thanksgiving and Happy Christmas…Oh wait..Reverse that, or does it really matter :)
I loved this article. And Thanks for mentioning GOD. Without HIM Im sunk!!
I love this article.
The unmentioned issue is that it is really Holiday creep masquerading around as Christmas. Why does the City have to underwrite a light show on Main St ?
Awwww my city, miss you :’)
Awwww my city, miss you :’)
Awwww my city, miss you :’)
God bless america and our city beautiful tree.
God bless america and our city beautiful tree.
This article is hilariously off point. Christmas can kiss my booty until the day AFTER Thanksgiving. Period.

<3! What a great perspective and reminder.
happy holidays to you!
Merry Christmas*
Horrible things will continue to happen until God Almighty says “Enough” Then Jesus
I was there when the lights went on for the first time and it was magical. Just enjoy the beauty, come in the evening to see the lights and live in the moment. Being happy even for a little while is a pretty good way to live.
Where’s the Menorah?
It is time that Thanksgiving be given the respect it deserves. Seriously. The city council needs to review the history of this United States.
Relax Darryl, it’s holiday time. Focus on happy thoughts. Sing a song. Eat pie. Buy a present for someone for no reason except to make them happy. Stores are hiring people, selling a bunch of stuff no one needs and paying city taxes. That keeps you working too. Say a prayer and be kind.
It looks gorgeous
It looks gorgeous
OOPS… MILITARY HONOR CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING IS DECEMBER 6th, SATURDAY!!!!!
