Brooke FredericksonWe allow wreaths, but we also have a policy that 'holiday decorations may be displayed 30 days prior to a holiday and must be removed within one week after the holiday.'
Guest Insiderwell that could prove problematic in regards to religion
Guest InsiderDepends. Prob. Not worth the trouble, honestly.
Cassie NechI would think that asking someone to remove religious holiday decor could be seen as discriminatory. I could be wrong though
Guest Insiderit could definitely bring about some questions
Guest InsiderHonestly? So many are struggling right now, if they want to prolong Christmas all year it's not hurting anyone.
Kim Halstead I agree…the reason for the question is that I’ve gotten some complaints from other residents and staff…just trying to figure out what everyone else is doing
Brooke Frederickson I had a neighbor who once had a giant blow up santa in his yard into March. I am all about the idea of winter lights, but the blow up santa was a little much. Is the wreath closer to winter lights or blow up santa? I think that's a reasonable question to ask here.
Kim Halsteadhaha it’s just a simple wreath that says merry Christmas
Brooke Frederickson I could get on board with a simple evergreen wreath but I think the 'merry christmas' sign takes it into 'please take it down' territory. Admittedly this is one of the reasons we have a lot of policies regarding this sort of thing.
Guest Insider honestly? I would just tell my residents it’s not hurting them so let the other resident live their best life and worry about themselves. Sheesh. The blow up Santa I get but it’s a wreath. Half the world wants that Christmas spirit year round and at this point needs it.
Kaylyn TidwellSeasonal decor is allowed during that season and then should be removed. They can keep Christmas decor up inside if they so choose.
Guest InsiderI have a resident who is alt and decorates his entire apartment in Halloween decor year round…he has what could be considered a Halloween door hanger up, but until someone complains I don’t mind…it makes him happy.
Guest InsiderYes remove it! I always send out reminders that when the season is over all seasonal decor should be removed.
Guest InsiderI recently tempted at a property that had in Community Policies that they had 2 weeks after each Holiday to remove all decorations. But non Holiday wreaths were fine.
Guest InsiderHonestly when you try to enforce it people do not like being told what to do, so it causes so much more unpleasantness and bickering. 100% not worth it!
Guest InsiderI had a resident who kept her Christmas decor up until her son came home from an overseas deployment. Sometimes there might be a reason for the decor staying up. We still have people with holiday lights up.
