Re: Xmas decorations

Wow that is massive! It looks good because it is lots of little lights.

I can't quite fathom out what I feel about Christmas lights. I'm not too keen on those inflatable Santa and snowmen thingss but I do like the pretty colourful lights. I wouldn't like the leccy bill that goes along with some of the very extravagant displays though but I do like to see them. This guy was using something cheerful to raise money for charity and maybe the neighbours were being killjoys but if their property was being damaged by people coming to see his lights then I can see that they had a point.

Another thought is the fuel consumption/global warming/carbon footprint attitude but for goodness sakes councils have their own Christmas displays so they shouldn't really grumble about people who do private ones. If he didn't mind the bills, and it's only once a year, it's a pity they couldn't have sorted something out to let him continue but make sure that no-one damaged neighbouring property. Oh dear though, that might have meant involving the police and that would never do.

Yes I do like to see displays and would go on a bit of a detour to see really good ones.
