Maybe, just, maybe, sense should prevail and instead of the expense of such lights we should, (for example), keep cleaners on the streets?
Yes, O.K. it's only Less thinking, what difference would keeping our streets clean make towards pretending we want our kiddies to be delighted with a mediocre display?
One cleaner on the street versus little coloured lights? Could I please have the cleaner until we can afford the lights?

there we go, to even it out... some complaining that they are not good enough and some complaining about the cost
for what its worth, Tyler thinks they are great, he likes walking through town after school when its dark so he can see the lights properly, he thinks the tree is cool cos its massive!! and he is impressed with the crib as well. Christmas lights are really for the kids, adults dont have the same awe at shiny lights as kids do.
