Illegal

For years, there have been Christmas themed movies depicting some insane plots where somehow throughout the storyline, 'Christmas can't be celebrated' or 'Christmas has to be saved'. In every film, although it may be entertaining to watch during the holidays, it seems like in the most absurd fictional situation that it could never be possible. But did you know that Christmas was once illegal in Massachusetts?

Whether you're looking for a sweet spot to capture a family photo or snap that next Instagram selfie, you have to make sure no laws are being broken at the same. It's pretty obvious you don't want to be walking into a stranger's yard or sitting on that strangers porch as this is considered trespassing and illegal.

While Western/Central Massachusetts has a lot of wildernesses full of wildlife, the biggest issue for hunting seems to be in Eastern Massachusetts past I-495 heading towards Boston. I mean it makes sense being crime as bad as it is, you don't want to mistake gunfire near the city for something else when it's just an innocent hunter hunting wildlife.

Massachusetts is one of the 16 states that has a law that forbids adultery during a marriage also know as sexual intercourse with someone other than their significant other.

Hanging up Christmas lights on your home is probably on your mind but what about decorating your car? I know I've seen deer antlers and red noses on people's vehicles but what about actual Christmas lights?

Halloween is upon us! It's a crazy fun time in Massachusetts! But the day after this spooky holiday, that costume you spent so much time getting ready, maybe even spent some money on will be used, and it'll probably smell and you may even no longer have any use for it. It'll time to throw it away. But wait, you can't! In Massachusetts, that would be illegal!

How many times did you listen to Thriller on repeat all this time? For me I'd say at least 5 or 6 times. So, does this mean it's time to start listening to "All I Want for Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey on repeat for the next couple of months to get into the holiday spirit?

A lot of passengers in Massachusetts actually don't even realize how dangerous it is to ride with their feet on the dashboard.

I decided to do a little research to find out the answer. Then I wondered how many of my fellow Berkshire County residents were unsure regarding the issue.

While perusing the world wide web recently, I came across some very interesting(and fun!) reading that I felt was so cool and strange that I just HAD to share!
