DH thinks they are naff, but I bought one anyway I think a light in the window makes the house look nice and welcoming.

I was looking forward to the snobby judgemental ruck, but nobody's playing ball

[sigh]

cheeryface · 30/11/2006 18:44

but, maybe if you say you think they are really naff we might have loads of fake candle window adorning mums creating a stink about it and then i might be entertained hmmmmmmmmmm

make your own out of old fruit shoot tubes.

iota · 30/11/2006 18:50

they are only tasteful if you use real candles

setting fire to the curtains is optional

anniebear · 30/11/2006 21:31

I think anything goes at Christmas!

I would love one of those huge globes in the garden! have you seen them? with Father Christmas, Snowman and a tree inside and it snows!!!!

around £100 though!!

WonderCod · 30/11/2006 21:32

i HATE them

kiskidee · 30/11/2006 21:35

what if you have one which uses real candles. does that make them unvile?

WonderCod · 30/11/2006 21:36

no that makes th em a fire hazard

kiskidee · 30/11/2006 21:38

that's if you have curtains rather than blinds.

FrannyandZooey · 30/11/2006 21:38
