Xmas Lights

[Gismo]

Meant to post last week, first crimbo lights up at a gated community here :frown:

[MINIme:)]

This is acceptable! :yes nod: my work Christmas party is less than 2 weeks away! Think all the xmas light have been switched on here now (have they?) Xmas stuff in September I have a problem with but it's late November now, the clocks have changed and (here) it's dark and wet and miserable! I have a wee set of mini fairy lights in the glove compartment that used to inhabit my old mini around the speedo. I might just get them out and set them up, just for you! :smilewinkgrin:

I think it's about 6 weeks since my friend saw the first ones on Maryhill Rd and let out a loud expletive on the bus. Embrace the fairy lights!

Aye, my garage will have it's Xmas lights up shortly ;). Once my partition goes up to help protect my PW and my fridge freezer ;). Gotta get the priorities right !! :lol: my outside lights haven't come down from last year and nobody seems to have noticed !! :clap:

Yay! :clap:


edit: if you mean xmas TREE, then yes, it needs to be December for that one, but outside lights I am more than ready for - too much gloom around! Although it's a beautiful cold clear day by the river today for a change :)

[euan]

First ones are up in our road as well, rather garish it has to be said!

I'm gonna change your profile to Scrooge Stoney!! :lol:

I’m with Rob, the shops had them up too early this year, you walk in start of November and the Xmas tree is up and lights on.

It all takes away that little bit of magic that used to be Christmas that is now just consumerism gone mad.

Don’t get me wrong I love the old decorations malarkey but it has to done with the Christmas spirit.

Anyway Craig if I was you I do a “wham last Christmas” and bugger off from civilisation to you cracking lodge and hope it just snowed for the week.

And Stewart, I would do but it's booked for Xmas and new year ! ;). Hoping to get up in the next few weeks :yes nod:

[MINIme:)]

you should go to China :lol: we saw Christmas decorations all over the place - in June! My friend who was living there said they just like them, because there's lots of gold and red which the Chinese adore. I've a photo or two somewhere...!

[Gismo]

Shamefully put up my outside lights today :lol:

Only fell off the ladder once, result :thumbs up:

YAY!!!! :smilewinkgrin::thumbs up: this makes me happy Alan!, Welcome to Christmas :) I'm just back from Braehead where I purchased a chocolate advent calendar for my own delectation. I have NEVER had a chocolate advent calendar and I thought that it was about time I did. Got mince pies too :yes nod: :thumbs up::xmastree:

Chafing again Craig...? You know how tetchy you get when that happens... :hand: :smilewinkgrin: I'll send my nurse with something sooooooooooothing :thumbs up:

[ELFMAN]

:off topic: But MINIme, if you have a 'Deprived Childhood', you'll have to give up everything vaguely Choclatey, which is arguably a 'luxury item' :frown:

I certainly don't want a Deprived Childhood - I want a DEPRAVED ADULTHOOD!!!! :p Which may or may not involve chocolate.... :blush:

Mr Elf you are making no sense. I HAD a deprived childhood involving no chocolate advent calendar :sad:. Hence why I am making up for said deprived childhood by buying myself one now!

Do you get Werthers suppositories?? :hand::laugh::laugh:

[ELFMAN]

:laugh::thumbs up: Classic. I hope Craig gets to you first, then he'll have less energy to damage me... :argh:

Do you get Werthers suppositories?? Not sure, but you should certainly NEVER accept sweeties from a strange man... even one in a MINI. Come to think of it - ESPECIALLY one in a MINI, and Heels. That was a hard lesson to learn... :blush:

WELL..... Update!! I got a package in the post this morning - that doesn't happen very often! My amazingly ace mum has sent me a chocolate advent calendar - first one she's ever bought me! :thud: So now I have TWO! Yes, that's TWO!! ;):D:smilewinkgrin::yes nod:

You are never too old for these things :thumbs up:

Took some pics of the front of the cinema last night. Our old white festoon lighting was at the end of it's life so we've invested a few hundred quid in blue led festoon lights.

They look better in the flesh than in the pic.
