When Can I Hang A Christmas Wreath?
November 1st, with the rest of your decorations. Everything comes down January 6th.
One nail, one circle, and the whole street knows you've started. A wreath is the cheapest announcement in the decorating business, and since November 1st you've been allowed to make it. Take the cobweb down first. The Court isn't going to say which holiday that makes you look like you've given up on.
Bows are fine. So are ornaments, jingle bells, tiny plastic presents and anything with the word "Joy" on it. You can do whatever you want to your door, including things you'll regret.
If you're using a real wreath, remember it's a cut plant in a sunny spot with no water. It'll hold up longest on a shaded door and in cold weather, and a light mist now and then helps. If your front door gets full afternoon sun, a real wreath hung on November 1st will be a brown circle well before Christmas, so hang it later or use a fake one.
An autumn wreath, with leaves and little gourds, is legal any time and isn't what this ruling is about. Please stop asking.
By January 6th it's brown, and everyone's noticed. It's on the door. Everyone who walks by is a witness.
The Ruling: Allowed from November 1 through January 6.
This ruling comes from a joke website. There is no court. The dates are our opinion, and the practical tips are ordinary common sense, so use your own judgment.
