Yes it's a Daily Mail link, so what.

Totally tongue in cheek article about how Christmas decorations are a class thing. Very funny. Highlights include:

"Covering your PVC door in some enormous, shiny taffeta bow is not going to make the door look any better. "

"The rule is: the further away from green it is, the more common it is. Thus: pink and white trees - the pits."

"should your husband (and it is always men) return home with an electronic dancing Douglas Fir, or a fake mounted reindeer head that bleats Good King Wenceslas to passers-by, then you have two options: get rid of it, or get rid of him."

"If a house’s baubles have gone up in November then however much repenting you may do during Lent, it will never be enough. "

So, so true.

I don't care if someone's house looks like an explosion in the Christmas aisle of a pound shop, or if their decorations are from Harrods as long as the owner is happy with them.
I don't get all this pathetic snobbery and competitiveness over a few decorations which are only displayed for a short while.

Why do these toffs get paid a shed load of money to spout utter tripe?

I'm not that keen on decs at all but if they bring people a bit of cheer then that's great - God only knows we need as much happiness as we can get right now. I certainly wouldn't pay attention to what the Fail or the s*n says!
