If this is true I don't think mad but rather use the term "sad"

We used to live on Tillery Road in the 1980s/90s and a family there always put up their decorations the day after Bonfire Night. Shocked

By the way - decorations or trimmings? We always used to call them trimmings when I was young, and I still do.

Mad Sad or maybe even Bad might be appropriate I'm all for brightening up the dark dismal dreary winter nights but surely a week before and a week after Chritmas is enough time to display decorations / Martyns trimmings Having them exhibited for about 8 weeks must take the edge off it

We should be grateful for the energy rip-off in one respect.

I've known houses in Alma St be lit up like Christmas trees in October.
