Is it even politically correct to put up Christmas decorations?............only?
Why would you even post a statement like this. No one in this thread is agruing that Christmas decorations should not go up..but its the timing and encroachment on other holidays that bother me as well as others.. When does the Christmas season start. Many people in their homes put up a christmas tree on Christmas Eve and shortly thereafter take it down. Thats a personal family decision and I have no problem with that. The REC centers support the community and we would all expect decorations for the season. Christmas (holiday) parties are held throughout December.....not starting November 3rd. Again TV needs to address the issue.... when does the Christmas season "reasonably" begin. TV is not selling anything so I see litttle need for putting a tree up in time for Thanksgiving!

I certainly hope we never get to the situation where putting up Christmas tress in the Rec Center comes down to being politicaly correct or not.
