The town of Tenterden

The 7,735 residents of Tenterden, England have all gone a little loopy.  The County Kent town has just finished putting up its Christmas lights.  We've all heard gripes about Christmas decorations going up earlier and earlier, but the Tenterdens have taken it to a whole new level.  It's August!

Apparently, the majority of Tenterden's town Christmas lights were stolen last year before they had a chance to put up the holiday display.  The ingenious townsfolk came up with the "Christmas in August" plan to fool any would-be thieves this year, who they speculated would still be busy stealing beach balls and swimwear.









The Telegraph: Kent town is first in country to put up Christmas lights - 121 days early
