Can the [Condo Board](https://www.condoassociation.com/blog/tabid/19257/Default.aspx?Tag=Boards) use general funds to purchase holiday decorations with or without a budget line item or [reserve](https://www.condoassociation.com/blog/tabid/19257/bid/8320/What-is-a-Condo-Association-Reserve.aspx) line item? Can the Board establish rules and guidelines regarding holiday decorating even if these rule and guidelines may differ from historical tradition of the [Condominium](https://www.condoassociation.com/CondoAssociation/tabid/83434/Default.aspx). Lastly, can we simply add these rules and guidelines into our "House Rules" without a member vote, just approval by Board majority.
