CHRISTMAS LIGHTS YES OR NO?

[Boris+]

Hi Helen,

Thanks for that - but it's not quite what I'm after, nearly but not quite. I think I might ask friends in the States to sort something out for me - otherwise I know of a couple of Xmas shops which are open all year - I might go and have a look there.

The extremely annoying this is that we were walking past a suitable store with loads of nice stuff earlier this year whilst we were on a cruise - and although 'Squiggle' was in existence we didn't know and hadn't been told. It's always the way! Similarly, we walked past a shop in Bergen which had really smashing kitchen accessories which would have made a nice gift for my SIL, but the silly girl wouldn't tell me the 'accent' colour she had selected for her kitchen - qed I didn't know, so didn't buy them; but they would have been perfect. No, I'm not going all the blasted way back to Bergen (just yet) just for that.

Look on the bright side - I'll have to keep on looking, which is exercise: win/win!

I've seen the most amazing lights at Hollywood Studios... will upload when I get home next week

If you are out towards Hollywood then pay a visit to Christmas Tree lane ... not very far away .. the entire neighbourhood is decorated.

wrong Hollywood, mate, we're in Orlando!

Em, Sorry if Iv missed the announcement, but have you found out yet if your first grandchild will be a boy or girl? (our next one, due 17th march is a boy )

Hi Sue,

No, not yet. I have a sneaky suspicion that the 'happy couple' are going to find out; but then telling us is at their discretion! Either they will or they won't - and whilst I really would like to know my main preoccupation is that parents and baby are all ok. I have a picture, I have a sound bite, and a little (honest!) growing pile of baby items.

"CHRISTMAS LIGHTS YES OR NO?"

Definitely Admirable Rob, or though I think less is more mate

Hiya Dennis the Menace,

Seeing you positing again has certainly "brightened" my day up.

Hope you’ve been keeping well.

Kind regards

Keith

Hi Keefy,

Ok here thanks, and very much looking forward to sticking my white dress on and sitting on top of a tree for most of December (which would still look more tasteful than Admirable Rob's illuminations).

Hope all ok in Shakespeare country

Hi DM

I think Robbie’s going to have to pull out all the stops if he’s going to better last year’s display.

I was so impressed I posted it on YouTube.

Hmmmmmm bit too structured for me......

I am taking the afternoon off tomorrow to put some of my outside Christmas lights up.

I wonder if Soiled Nightie will pop across town to help me??

HO HO HO

I have to wait till Saturday !!! Hubby is away and wont be back till then.

[GillD46]

I did the tree outside the front door, Tony will climb up the big tree tomorrow

[gfwgfw]

For a sick joke many years since

I fixed a very brilliant RED light over the front door

Oh so dismayed

We had not one punter

[Admiral of the Humber]

With a todger like that Graham, I must say I am surprised. I would have thought the ladies would have been lining up round the block.

HO HO HO

[Manoverboard]

Perhaps they were waiting for the Green light

Hi Robbie,

Due to unforeseen circumstances I’ve had to delay putting up my Christmas light until this morning... Just to add to my excitement the little kiddies across the road are holding their Christmas play this coming Friday so I now have an excuse for twinkle bells, twinkle bells, twinkle all the way.

Regards

Hubby is on about getting Xmas decorations out of the loft. The main problem is the table we used to put the tree on now has a large printer on it. Another problem is we normally put lights round the bay window but since moving things around in the living room the television is now in the middle of the bay window with speakers and DVD shelves on either side. It it was left up to me I'm afraid it would stay in the loft. Bah humbug

[Onelife]

Hi Susan,

It might be a good idea to move back into your winter residence rather than cram everything into your summer house.

Televisions and Bay windows don’t go well together.... even with tinsel round them

it is to my everlasting shame, that I must confess to the forum, that Lady D has bought and installed XMAS LIGHTS !!!
we are now the "proud" displayers of a waterfall of sparkly twinkly stuff in the bay window, with the promise of more to come

Hangs head in shame and remorse

Oh Batty boy I wonder what else Lady D will bring home - reindeer for the front lawn

Don't worry, no one will recognise you as long as you are wearing your Bat Mask.
