19th November!! That's rediculous and a waste of tax payer's money on electricity in these austere times..
What is wrong with the first week in December as it often was.
Christmas seems to start at the begining of November these years..
Oh yes lets try trialing turning off lights in Auldearn but dont worry, come the middle of November we shall turn the street christmas lights on two weeks early!!
Bah humbug i hear some say.. No not really jsut dont see any benefit in starting christmas in november!
I sort of agree with Anon 4:14 but looking at the calendar the lights are going on just 5 weeks before Christmas day so not too bad?
Only 41 days left to buy lots of crap and mountains of food, start panicking people!

Quite agree with anon 4:14. This is far too early and for whose benefit? It's not just 5 weeks before Christmas day, it's 35 bloody days! I hate what Christmas has become.
Why has this been planned for a school night? Bairns up late does not bode well for being awake on Tuesday morning. Much better on a Friday night as per usual
