When it comes to decorating houses and yards for the holidays, some British Columbians feel distinctly Grinch-like when the lights and inflatables get switched on too soon.
A new survey conducted by BC Hydro found that 15 per cent of respondents found it “annoying” when holiday décor went up too early. However, almost a third of those surveyed said it made them feel joyful when Christmas lights and decorations were switched on, no matter when that happened.
