Although it is beyond excessive, it could be worse, like having a gazillion plastic snowmans / santas / trees etc on the roof, a million more flashing lights, big flashing neon lights saying things like Merry Christmas in 43 different languages.
Or this
Or these
more
another one!
How horrible
Ours go up a couple of days before Christmas, not necessarily Christmas Eve because it's a working day so parents aren't necessarily at home, and it's a family thing.
boots vouchers
hairdryer
perfume
thats all i`ve asked for
i love christmas i just have a thing against people covering their houses in tacky lights and inflatable santas.
anyway i didn't start the thread to talk about christmas lights!
back to the original topic people. :mad:
you're just tacky.
:yeees:
oi.
but at least i can spell.
Besides I have a spell checker on top of the screen.
Not all the lights came on in the end.
you didnt miss much si, just a load of scummers using there kids as weapons to fight through the crowd...i was much more happier sat drinking my pint of guiness at the pub afterwards.
my dancing was the highlight of the evening, not the guiness!! tut!
and si, how did you miss it? place or time? it was good though, not meaning to rub it in. but then i like mcfly and the scissor sisters.
I dont get why people get so annoyed about people putting their decorations up early, it's not like they're asking you to come and help them, or decorate their bloody tree. Lighten the fuck up.
I'm getting excited about buying presents for people though (even if it is coming out of my overdraft!)
A house about 2 miles from here has projections, snowmen on see-saws, singing elves and lights all over the bushes and tree and windows. Must cost a fortune for the leccy bill!

Lots of money, lots of CDs. Socks, underwear, that kinda thing.
Also, the boy has already bought me:
http://www.annsummers.com/single.asp?gid=7&cat=5&pid=3344 (although he says he hasn't decided whether or not it's part of his Christmas budget for me yet :grump: )
And I know that he's trying to decide between two things, and then other stuff on top of that and it's like >.<. Gay. His budget for me is >£100 and it makes me feel bad . My budget is £5 or less per person. And I'm only buying for 8 people. Oh how poor I am .
On the decorations front - ours don't go up til mid-December. Come down early January. Yeh.
It's the thought that counts. Personally I'd rather have something that would be useful to me and that was cheap instead of something that was expensive and that I don't want or wouldn't use.
