Christmas lights

When I took Maddie for her last long walk, it was starting to get quite dusky somebody in the adjoining road has their Christmas lights going.

 

People over here usually have them on right after Remembrance Day, I know I will after this weekend.

 

Yep same here Pam house at the end of our street have their tree up !!!!!

 

Sad isn't it.

Christmas used to be special when it was limited to 12 days instead of 2 months.

 

Hey now...

 

Someone round here has had them up for the last three weeks

 

Ok, now even I'm not that bad, to me that's too early

 

Ok wait....when you say "Christmas lights", do you mean coloured lights or clear one's? I leave up twinkle lights (small clear ones) all year long hidden in tree's, and yes they are plugged in, but to put up coloured ones, haven't done that yet but planning to this weekend.

 

They were coloured and flashing, I hate flashers.

 

I wasn't having a dig at you Penny, we cross posted

 

Me too, don't like those ones, solid lights for me

 

I know that...just bugging you

 

But I agree Zigs, the magic of Christmas has gone, goods have been in the shops since September, T.v. advertising, when we only had real Christmas trees they were not put up until 7-10 days prior, due to needle drop, and it was all a build up.

 

I put my Xmas lights up first weekend in December , and we do like them twinkling ! I have white lights on my apple tree , but the controller always selected a flashing pattern that would induce a fit , every time we switched them on ! I have rewired them so they are just on with no flash, next problem is to stop Molly chewing the wires !

 

A friend of mine has already put a photo up on Facebook of her Christmas tree,all decked out and I see we are already having the M&S lady with her undies onprancing round on our screens and since when on the John Lewis advert have we had bears living in this country?{Love the coca cola lorry advert though,holidays are coming,holidays are coming}
