Christmas lights

It isn't Christmas without a sofa advert! What's with Christmas and sofa adverts?

The neighbours opposite put their lights up outside the house this afternoon. They're white and twinkly .......they're nice but it's too early!

 

A few years back when i were driving lorrys, there was a bump on the motorway and it got shut, so the police sent us through a town and there Christmas lights which were not to the miniume height, and the trailor was 16 foot but the lights weren't there was alot of bulb that were going bang, police not happy

 

I find the blue flashing lights really weird, they mess with my sense of space and distance making them look kind of - unearthly. Anyone else find this - the other colours are fine.

I'll be lucky if i get mine up by the 2nd week in December. I'm always slightly relieved when they come down.

I have a friend in Wales that leaves his Christmas tree up all year.

No needles left on it though.

 

They give me a migraine.

 

Is flashing a sign of the times and lack of Christmas spirit?
In my day, they didn't 'flash' they "twinkled" ... twinkling is much more Christmas than flashing, I feel

 

It was in my youth ... probably will be again in my senility
