How long will it take before all holidays merge into one?

My next-door neighbors just put up Xmas lights.

I don't know if they plan to turn them on at night yet, but still.

So, without knowing anything about your neighbor's culture/religion, is it possible they're lights for Diwali?

(My Hindu neighbors put them up yesterday and will leave them up through the holidays, so in some ways the complaint is the same)

Huh. From the glimpses I've had of the neighbors, that might be it.
