Sorry about the size of the image, if i made it any smaller i dont think you would have believed me ... and i had to take the picture very quickly ...

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

It is a little bit early. They might be trying to be the first in the area. I once sent all my Christmas card out on the 1st Oct.

:D

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Blooming heck thats quick & very over keen its not even bommy night yet, just waiting for the saddo's round here to start they started early last year:eek:

Wow! It looks absolutely fabulous! That is the best Antony Gormley sculpture I've seen in ages...much better than those ones on the beach at Crosby. And this one's in Church, of all places!

Anyway, I have no doubt Gayle has something to do with this...but It is certainly far better than the panopticon. I do hope, however, that someone can persuade the inhabitants of that house in the background to get rid of that mess in their front window.

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Howling here ......
Youd have thought they would have put some pretty bulbs on the dead council tree wouldnt you.

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

They already have ;) same culprits every year! I think Carl Hurles will confirm his neighbours decorated their house arond 3 weeks ago. :D

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Ah them havent looked LOL didnt surprise me at all pmsl

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

OMG its getting worse every year some saddo round here put their tree etc up over a week ago WHY????

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

It's unbelievable.... or maybe it's just they eat easter eggs on christmas day!!!! :rolleyes: :p ;)

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

or maybe they just had xmas day on easter sunday and couldnt be bothered to take the decs down lol

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Here is a good money-saving tip. If anyone on here wants to get pregnant, try and do so on the 25th March; the chances are it will be born on Christmas day and that means you only have to buy one set of pressy's each year for the little brat.

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Oh so not true!!! My eldest was born on xmas day (although he was prem and not due till feb!!) and has march 1st the day of his christening which is called "party day". He gets his pressie's and when he was younger his party then. At christmas he just gets birthday cards and a cake!!! :)

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Im dreading putting up the tree again .... its a competition between my 4 cats who is the first one to the top. I cant put chocolate balls on the tree as one of my cats loves it and pinches it from the tree.:p

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

There's nothing to dread.....just stick razor blades in some of the branches. Your cats will soon learn their lesson and won't then be going anywhere near the tree.

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

And who will clean up the blood ... :D

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarh! It's wrong, wrong I tell you!

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Saw the first advert on telly, mastercard, and also the stores are all filling there shelves with Christmas stuff. Over here they start to decorate after thanksgiving which is the last thursday in november, we will have our usual discussion about how soon it is but I will lose :) and have to sit through the whole of december with them. Have you started the outside decorations yet or is it just an american thing?

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

oh its too early to put up your xmas dec yet it will make xmas seem ages away having them up now

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

well you are a woman .................:rolleyes:

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

The outside decorations have gradually increased over the past few years. Whereabouts are you Bazf ?

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

lol @ chav ... note i said " NEARLY" .... had i been a male then it might have read "JUST CRASHED THE CAR" :D :D :D

Fact: Out of the 2 minor RTA's ive been in, its been 2 MEN that have Rogered ME UP THE BACKSIDE ! :D

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

well its bad enough to be in an accident but for them to do that to you afterwards is just adding insult to injury :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

FPMSL ....

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

So the great Crimbo Decorations race is on then!! What a waste of effort having them up befor 1st December a they might get damaged or worse if outside technically redistributed for a better use.

Anyone put one in their car yet???

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

There was a time not all that long ago when people didn’t “trim up” or decorate in the modern vernacular, until the kids had gone to bed on Xmas Eve. The parents would put the tree up, add all the trimmings and spread the presents under the tree.

The living room and front room in some cases got trimmed up and received Xmas cards were strung along the walls.

It was often well past midnight before they stumbled into bed but it was worth the effort to see the kids faces as they came down on Xmas morning.

Last year I saw a few cars decorated – on the inside. Although some people wrapped silver tinsel around the aerial – that’s if they still had one.

Slightly off topic – a message to the thieving Neanderthal torag who nicked my car aerial from outside my flat in broad daylight the other day – A VERY UNHAPPY XMAS!!!! I hope that you poked your eye out when you put it on your own car.

But this decorating for Xmas lark has got well out of hand today.

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Does seem overly premature to put up your Christmas tree just yet .. hope not some sad reason behind this .. sorry, just a thought. :(

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

I think they like to be first every year Katex. Was like that last year as well.

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Ok .. that's sorta' a relief then, but why, eh ? You do these things for some sort of pat on the back, don't you ? Everybody, like us, must be just laughing at them :D :D

Anyway, glad your rear end is still intact ..:D

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

lol @ tear end.

Has anybody ever seen Howarth Close during December ???? Think Look Northwest once went when they do the Christmas competition.

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

That typing error is funnier .... :D

I love the way people dress up their houses at Christmas (guess those wind turbines will be coming in useful !) sos thread wander. Like stepping into a childhood fantasy of Fairyland .. :cool:

Wish I could do more, but can never sort out the plugs, etc to the outside .. suppose need a man at times ...:(

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Katex you should live with Ginger then. Every year is the same......More lights outside than bloody blackpool Illuminations ( although ours do work)......

Cars drive past and stop outside staring....gets bloody annoying, but he is a big kid and insists on doing the house up like a grotto every year.

A little girl that lives near us won't go to bed at night until her mum has put her, her little dressing gown on and brings her for a look at the lights, then she will go to bed........:D bet that mum curses Ginger every year lol.

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

He does love his lights dont he? lol was only a month back he was on about........getting more .......lights:eek: im surprised you haven't had planes land yet:D

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Tell me about it. When I hear a low plane over head....I run for cover and pray it carries on lol. His bloody love for lights comes from his dad, that still decorated to grotto style every year.....even though all the kids have grown up and have families of there own lol. :)

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Hey if Ginger decides to dress up this christmas too, can I do his makeup again???? :p

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

LOL yeah of corse lol!!! I think he secretly enjoyed that Harwood!! :D:D

Will have to keep my lip sticks away from him.

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

hey I reckon that colour suited him, I hid it after that just in case he tried to nick it :p

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

I did see him writing the name of the colour down......I think he made a visit to Boots the next day. Least when mine runs out I can borrow his.

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Hee hee, he'll be looking for a long time, it's an avon one!!! lol lol lol. Do you want me to drop the book off????:p

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Jan Ist Will Be Time To Look Out For Easter Eggs

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

that soon i think they beat the council to this year or they geting in the xmass feel quick.

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

I'm one of the brigade that liked to trim everything up on Christmas Eve and would happily do that.

I say, 'liked', that doesn't happen now. A few years ago, when Maddie was about 2ish, I mentioned to my Mother In Law that my plan was to do it all on Christmas Eve and to say that she was horrified was an understatement. She immediately went to town bought the biggest tree she could find, twice as many decorations as her house could stand and had Maddie help putting up decorations at hers. So, of course, Maddie prefered her house to ours.

Each year I try to resist the pressure to trim up for as long as possible but usually cave in around about the second week in December.

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

I agree with you there Gayle, usually couple of weeks before xmas I trim up. I don't understand how people who trim up so early manage to keep everything clean as I just find decs are major dust traps!!! :rolleyes:

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Every morning i wake up with tinsel all over the hallway .... the cats play chase me at night with each other. :eek:

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Oh well I think I mentioned how OVER THE TOP Ginger goes on lights outside the house :confused:

This year will be no exception apparently. Got up on sunday morning and he had been shopping......................YES a massive santa on a train rope lights for outside....................I'm leaving home :(

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Well Santa wont have any problems about finding your house then will he? All he will have to do is to look for the lights and set the reindeer nav for the house with the most lights! :D

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Has Ginger seen the Argos catalogue - well hide it slinks otherwise he might just want one of these:

http://www.argos.co.uk/wcsstore/argo...6UC293136X.jpg

:D :D :D

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

has anyone else considered the posability of opening that item up and replacing the picture of santa with a picture of their ass and shining it up to teh clouds to with everone in accy a merry assmas ?

edit:

just me again eh :rolleyes:

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Well. after just discovering one of our Moderators surname through an article in the Observer, think he should be the first one !!.... just one more sarcastic comment from that area and I will spill the beans for all to see .... :D :D

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Haha are they called Winterbottom by any chance?? :D

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Anyway, I love all the outside lights, let us know when Ginger has installed, will come and have a nose. x

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Yes I will do katex......usually he starts putting them up next weekend, then there is the grand light switch on, on the 1st Dec.:)

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

If i had my way my house would be christmas decor free but seeing as i live with my parents still i have to put up with the shi73. They are away this time so tree goes up christmas eve and comes down as soon as guests go home.

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Thats boring silvermain! Even when my mum said it wasnt worth it putting the tree up because neither of us would be here on Christmas Day i went out and bought a new one that was easier to put up and put it up. She used to say i was a big kid at heart! Anyway this year i dont know when i'll put it up. Its only a little 3ft or 4ft cant remember which! At the minute i'm busy making xmas decorations for our local credit union to sell to raise money for them. Also making some for the kids at my nieces school for them to paint up.

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Anybody with a car ?????

I challenge you now to drive down Medoway at night without crashing your car ! :D

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

There is a house on the corner coming up Ormerod st. It has loads, the kids loved looking at it last night......and kept asking ' Can we put ours up mum...PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ' I said ' NO ' Actually I think Ginger paid them to keep whining at me. It's not going to work........1st December or nothing :) they went to bed sulking.......so did the kids :D

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Why does Miserable mum and Scrooge come to mind slinky go on let them put them up:p

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

OH don't you start Mick :p Ginger is here ( well somewhere under a mound of lights in my livingroom). He is starting putting them up today. We have just had a tiff because he says when they are all up ( which will take him 3 days) he is turning them on!!! I said ' no you're not' he said ' well you are working for the next 3 days, you won't know ' grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr He saw a 12ft inflatable santa in QS last night. We had a argument about that. He said ' I'm going to buy that and put it on the roof ' ME ' NO YOU ARE NOT ':mad: every bloody year it's the same.



Please if someone could adopt me just for christmas........I would be greatful :D

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

See Ginger i will stick up for you and we can then get our own way :hidewall: think i will stay here till after the next meet

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

Right at the moment I have a 3 meter santa skiing down a slope, I have a 5ft high santa climbing ladders, I have santa floating on a balloon and I have a 4 meter santa on a train all set up in the livingroom..............I live in quite a small house...................you can't tell me you envy me?? I seriously can't move. I am sat here in a corner typing this with sun glasses on, the light in this room is pathetic.



I am NOT exaggerating...........if none of you believe me, just take a look up here after the 1st December :mad:

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
 

oooh great seeing as you live so close to me i wont have to bother putting my lights on-yours will shine so bright,well saves on electric!

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree

Re: Just Nearly Crashed The Car....Xmas Tree
