No Christmas decorations here castout. I don't get into that bullsh*t

But across the road from me a new neighbor moved in and when I go outside to drink my coffee I look over and his house is light up with Christmas stuff the whole house is one big neon lights. The guys an idiot but if it makes him and his wife happy then theirs no argument I suppose.

wow, way to bah humbug (JK)

I told my wife "There is no force on this earth that can make me go outside this year and hang those damned lights."

inside though... we've done well to have a tree and a nativity scene, thats it.

those people who spend hours going into overkill making their home look like the Santa's whore house are insane.

Pagan or not just the meaning of the birth of Christ that matters to me. Decoration is just to help getting in the mood and a change of pace it is after all near the end of the year.

There's a growing trend here in the UK for making your house exterior look something akin to santas grotto.

Some are so mesmerising they have been cited as the cause of many an RTA due to there tendancy to draw a motorists attention

I blame the motorist personally.

I drive home down a fast country lane and every December there is a farmhouse halfway down in a little dip that has more lights than Blackpool (and why do they remove their lights just before Xmas?), motorists are forever slowing down to see the lights and one day, one day, it'll be horrific (accident, not the lights - although they are a bit gaudy for my liking).

But it wont be me

Anyhoo, here's my tree...

Ha, ha, not had slippers for about 20 years, or pajamas. Only thing I know I've got, because I bought them myself (with relative's money) is a set of 2.1 speakers and a gamepad.

Other than that I'm not really bothered (bah-humbug!) about it all, it's for the kids and they'll have a good time!
