Christmas lights
With the help of my daughter l've managed to get our Christmas lights up this year and they look fantastic. As you know l don't do tacky, so we have no flashing lights (just white static lights) or Santa's climbing up the walls, although we have splashed out on a snow projector (hai hai) which illuminates a large yew tree in the back garden. I was a little hesitant in purchasing as most of these projectors get mixed reviews. Sure enough the remote control didn't work but the manual control did so we have stuck with it......fingers crossed that it sees the Christmas period out but l'm very pleased with the results so far. That being said we have only tested them as the big turn on is the 7th Dec.....l'm just trying to think of a celebrity to do the honours.....any ideas?
Bit early to wish you all a Happy Cristmas but hey! Happy Christmas to one and all.

Re: Christmas lights
The most you are likely to get is a box of Keefy's stale chocolates

Re: Christmas lights
It's Corbyn you need to approach for handouts Stephen, Keefie's only good for CGI chocolates.

If Corbyn promises free chocolates for pensioners he's got my vote. Bu**er the economy.

You need a jolly benevolent red gentleman with a beard, he's bound to give momentum to the proceedings. Alternative extremist nutters are available.
