"It doesn't state any dates at all on when to put the decorations [back] up," Nick Simonis told "GMA." "It only stated that we must take down the decorations ten days after the holidays."

Diamond Association Management & Consulting, the Simonis Homeowner Association, has not yet responded to ABC News' request for comment.

One of the Simonis' reasons for their early decking of the halls is because Claudia is 8-months pregnant.

"I just wanted to be prepared," she told "GMA."
