"While driving the neighborhoods yesterday, it was noticed that Christmas decorations have already begun to appear within the community. All holiday decorations should be reflective in their respective months and not any sooner than 30 days before the given holiday. If you currently have Yuletide decor present on the outside of your home, please remove it and reinstall it in accordance with your community guidelines listed below."
""These guidelines are not part of a broader Air Force policy," Air Force Capt. Justin Davidson-Beebe, the public affairs chief at Tyndall, told Task & Force. "Since community standards are set by the privatized housing management company at some installations, standards may vary from base to base.""
""When I was active duty we celebrated Christmas and Thanksgiving within one week because I was leaving for a short tour to Osan in December and would be leaving before Christmas," one service member wrote. "So that year my Christmas tree and decorations went up the day after Halloween. It costs $0 to mind your own business.""
Military families living in privatized housing at Tyndall Air Force Base received an email instructing removal of Christmas decorations until after Thanksgiving. The email directed that holiday decorations be displayed no earlier than 30 days before the given holiday and that "winter decorations" may be shown from the week after Thanksgiving until the first week of the New Year. The message originated from Balfour Beatty Communities, the privatized housing company that manages base residences. Air Force public affairs clarified the guidelines are set by the housing company and are not part of a broader Air Force policy. Many residents responded with anger and disappointment in comments.
