Christmas Lights

[codswallop]

I dont set ,yself upa s the Queen of taste - so chill if you are, but I have decided that we ( ie me and the boys) wasnt lights outside our house this year.

Saw some nice ice blue ones in good old lakeland - or white - whaddaya think?

dont like those nets of lights but did snigger at the Santa train (80 quid!!) at Homebase.. Tee hee

Boys LOVE naff lights.

"Set myself up as"

it should say

here they are

Hoorah - dare I trust dh not to go for a waving Santa?!!

BTW all never mind Geroge Bush - Beety and i are having a meetup tomorrow - we should get Melsy too and Whellid

You've got to aim for either simple and classy and go for a few elegant white ones, or go the whole hog and kit your house like a pikey shrine. Luckily we have no ladder else I'd be in the same dilemma.

Ooh sorry, I'm a bit slow. Should use the Refresh button more.

My PILs deck their house like a neon grotto every year. Used to frighten ds1 but now he's 3 he'll probably love it. Ds2 too young to remember but suspect he'll holler when grandad gets the snowman to flash again.

I meant flash as in flicker, not expose itself.

Yes Imo the earlier they are up the naffer!!

LOL badhair about the 'flashing snowman'.

like the blue lights coddy my dh puts those icicle lights up round the eaves.....but he keeps looking at plastic light up snowmen

AM OFF TO MEET BEETY!!

Have fun, dears!

(Will you be wearing Christmas lights or something?)

Have got the lights - great switch on tomorrow!

Are they on yet? Did you fuse the street?

Our lights have been up all year (but not on!). I had to remember to remove the end of them from the leylandii hedge when we had it reduced to 6' high this summer so I must remember to rehang them along that bit.

I can't bear those waving santas etc.

Might switch them on tomorrow seeing as it will be December.

Hope your lights are working OK Coddy. I am going to add in a bit of baa humbug because next door is like Santa's Grotto with lights flashing all over the shop, inside and out
I hate Christmas starting so early. We always waited until a couple of weeks before Christmas to decorate the inside of the house. Now dd is moaning the face off me to get decorations like next door. I would like icicles for round the edge of the roof I must admit, but i really hate doing it so early. Plus I wouldn't put up as much as next door and dd thinks we are mean. It is quite frankly pi$$ing me off

Mears you are a misery!1 THought you would be way into it.....

Ok pale blue star light are up - the flashing was too much so they are now static and look great.

I would rather have decs up from Dec1st till the 25th then talke them down the minute xmas day is finished - hate them up til the 6th

I think superstition is on par with the royal family!!!

Isn't it supposed to be 12 days before and 12 days after ? We put our tree up yesterday, no outside lights, but those blue ones look pretty.
