Reply To: Opinions please… Chanukah decorations in a lobby

Let me get back to the topic at hand.

Apparently, the super’s family hung their decorations in the lobby (or so it appears, given the quantity).

Upon whom should the responsibility fall to purchase the decorations?

My husband objected to us spending our hard earned money on decorations for the lobby and suggested either the management company or the super provide them.

I think the responsibility falls on those that want the decorations. What do you think??

I understand that a child would not go OTD just because they see lots of chrastmacht decorations.

So, what should I say to my children when they run up to look at the beauty of the tree, etc.?

I usually say “Oh, look at the menorah! How many candles are there?” Should I just ignore their attention to the tree and decorations??
