what very nice decorations you have mr wolf...

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
bloody christmas decorations now are so god damn tacky.

huge 9 foot blow up santas around our way... not to mention the randomness of badly colour co-ordinated tinsle hanging around doorways, and the matching fairy lights.

whats your house look like from the outside?

my mum's put up *very tasteful* golden icicle lights that line the front window, but other than that, we dont do outdoor decorations.

I think some of them can look very nice, but then a few gardens down there's this huge tree at it has 5 light bulbs in it, one white, two yellow, and two blue, and not even in a particualrly deliberate order. mmm, stylish :rolleyes:


ps. dont forget, channel four at 9pm - the twin thing :yes:

    I agree completely.

    I really like those icicle lights. A few houses have got them round here, and white lights in trees in the garden and so on. I think white lights, if not overdone, can look really nice and tasteful. And some of the coloured lights can look nice.

    But then there are the houses with bright flashing lights all over the house, tinsel all over the windows, giant santas/reindeer/snowmen all over the garden, and a lovely 'Santa Stop Here' sign by the front door. :yeees:.

    And what twin thing?

    a documentary about the boy who gave birth to his twin brother. they were 7 years old and one had been living inside the other. watch it, it look like a real conversation starter.


    as for the white lights;

    that's why id love an evening wedding, id love to get married in some beautiful grounds somewhere, in the evening and have the whole place decked out in white fairy lights. oh it'd be magical.

    but i've arranged that for the engagement party as im impatient!

    Right, this might be a stupid question - tell me if it is, but why does it seem I'm the only one who's read this and thought it just slightly strange? :confused:

    the twin was trapped inside him in the womb, and lived of his blood supply until he was operated on when he was 7, its very rare, called 'fetus in fetu'

    i watched some of it but it was well manky seeing that dead twin


    and back on topic, i absolutely detest those 'santa stop here' signs :mad:

    I have like 3 strands of white icicle lights around the top, flat part of my porch banaster, outside, and that's all the lights that I have up around my, at all, on the outside and that's usually just it except this year, have a wreath, for the outside door, that lights up, with white lights, but it's not really all that bright, so it doesn't throw off the icicle lights or make it look bad or anything like that.

    we dont have any outdoor decorations, just an indoor xmas tree. I always hated the outdoor OTT types until this year, cos littlun loves them! (still not doing it on my house though)

    when you have children they like things like that, they 'think' that Santa will know where they live when they have a sign outside. (well our Becks does). Thats all i have got outside like :)

    Then put it on the roof, not by the front door.

    Everyone knows Santa comes down the chimney, not through the door :no:
