Going up round here already.

My boss standardly puts his up 1st November lol.

 

[Leon103]

I have noticed a lot of people doing the same here. Idiots.

 

[Druss]

Yeh, my next door neighbours already have a giant light up reindeer stuck to the front of their house, when did that become the action of anything other than a dangerously insane individual?

 

[Gerryjo]

Don't get me started.... There is a up the street who have had the outside lit up this last 5 weeks and drawing crowds from all around with donation boxes outside and has been given a covid fine of £1000 for this and its still going on. Shall get a pic this evening as I'm just off night shift.. Note the traffic cones..

 

[Chippy_Tea]

They were saying on 5live it's to help with the covid depression I think the thought of Christmas this year would be more likely to make you depressed.

There's a flat in Wrexham that has a Christmas tree up in the window... permanently!
Wonder if there's a skeleton in the chair?!

 

[Benfleet Brewery]

My Christmas Tree is up.

Up in the bloody loft where it should be...........

Christmas is going to be much nicer this year as I hate having Christmas songs in Tescos for the whole of December. Gone click and collect since March so that's a blessing.
Going to miss the Mari Lwyding though.

 

[Chippy_Tea]

I think the neighbours would have noticed the smell by now Clint.

 

[Mr_S_Jerusalem]

Maybe it's elegantly masked by the smell of rotting pine....

@Gerryjo - glad they took viewers health and safety into consideration and put the cones out wouldn't want the non distanced crowd shuffles past spreading Covid and tripping over.

 

[Jim Brewster]

Attracting crowds with that!?
It really is desperate times

@Chippy_Tea it's in a cul-de-sac and the amount of people and vehicles that come here was out of control and the barrier went up after the PSNI paid a visit. I'm all for good causes but Christmas was special but has become so commercialised and putting up decorations in October and advertising on fakebook would only draw people out during lockdown causing more chaos and no mention of concern for others but the fact donations are welcome and going to a good cause and turns into a street party every night. Certainly if you had a property with access with no cause of concern for others but this is just a show. Christmas is special and it's in December.

I'll post a pic later just to see the transformation.

Its attention seeking of the highest order and i hate it, someone on our street has their house lit with over the top lights every year and it gets bigger every year they have now moved on to these


Skip to 1:50 for a shocker -

I got a couple of those Lazer projector things...take five minutes to set up. I used to **** about on ladders putting lights up for the kids...not any more!
