On aesthetic grounds, I quite agree. The matter for debate, however, is the point at which the law intervenes.

The thing that I particularly dislike is the craze that has appeared in the last few years for festooning homes and gardens with outdoor lights for a few weeks during December and January. The flashing ones are particularly tacky. If you want to have a Christmas tree in your window, fair enough, but inflicting flashing lights on all your neighbours is over the top.

If the law bans such trifles as Jolly Rogers, I would have thought these outdoor flashing Christmas decorations would warrant a custodial sentence.
