Some municipalities have quality-of-life and beautification ordinances that proscribe certain uses of one's property. For example, some communities don't allow you to park an RV or boat or even a junker car in your driveway. Others fine you for not mowing your lawn or painting your house. Some don't allow the storage of material and clutter on your property. And some don't permit the home owner to leave up Christmas decorations past a certain date. That last regulation is quite common in gated communities, condominiums, and other communities governed by homeowners associations. * Because it looks bad and it makes you look slow * If your lawn decorations are still out when the JUCO students come back to town, they (the decorations) may disappear late at night.

Most facilities owned by the Mormon Church that decorate for Christmas take their decorations down shortly after New Years Day, which is customary for most people in the United States. Maybe the Mormons you know are either too lazy to take down their Christmas decorations, or they love Christmas so much that they don't want to take them down?
