Base housing rules at Tyndall AFB require Christmas decorations be removed after January 1, sparking local frustration.
Service members and families at Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida were told to remove Christmas decorations from their homes after Balfour Beatty Communities, the base’s privatized housing manager, enforced lease rules requiring holiday decorations to be displayed only from the week after Thanksgiving through the first week of January.
The policy, based on residents’ legally binding leases, is not a Department of Defense rule but follows common practices in rental communities to maintain neighborhood consistency.
While some residents expressed frustration online, using humor to critique the timing, others acknowledged the need for uniform standards.
The rule applies only to Tyndall’s privatized housing and does not reflect a broader military-wide policy.
