Gosh, theres a lot of 'light rage' around, I never knew Christmas can be any colour you flippin like.
Which German Xmas market is the best one to visit, PM?
Me too. I used to lie under our tree for hours staring at the lights. They didn't flash, twinkle or fade in and out - they were just static lights. It was the 70s after all. But it filled my little heart with joy. It's just a shame that they were attached to a really naff (silver) Christmas tree.
Full disclaimer: I still stare at fairy lights and when Hubs took me on, he did so knowing that fairy lights are for life, and not just Christmas. (I have them up in 4 of our rooms all year round)
I hear you! I'm all for a tastefully done up house exterior but some are just migraine inducing, and quite frankly an attack on the eyeballs!And don't get me started in those bright all-blue flashing super troupers outside many people's gaffs these days that look like a police car or ambulance is parked on their drive!
We call them 'Grizzers' which comes from the excellent National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation where Clark Griswald decks the exterior of the house in 25'000 twinkling lights. Truth be told, Clark's were semi-tasteful, but we use the term based on quantity of lights...
There's a Grizzer opposite us - full on flashing blue lights - strobes - you'd love it Len.
On the Batty tree there are (or will be when I get the damn thing up) retro fairy lights and twinkly ones (I'm a sucker for a twinkle) and some lit up 'presents' which hide the fairy light cables - oh, and the once obligatory candle arch.
A thought is harmless unless we believe it.
Nora, I just watched that film last night!
I have memories of my dad's frustration of checking string lights for the one broken bulb
Have to say though some of the cool exterior designs you see in the news are interesting. For many years a guy near us turned his house into a grotto and became a local news feature.
