Four years ago, we had a family like that already. At that time I used to occasionally talk with one of the British soldiers in that street who also was stationed in Muenster at that time, he was a dog owner, and as it happens - you get talking to somebody over the dog. That we became friends would be said too much, but we had a lose contact until he left, they rotate every 1-2 years. He said that the other Brits living in that street (around a dozen houses like that) were not too happy, for it gave them a bad image with the Germans, they feared. Well, there are Germans being as excessive like in this example, and worse: there are those who set up a hundred "Gartenzwerge" (garden gnomes) in their garden, which easily tops the Kitsch of the xmas lights in this example. It may be somebody's choice, as you said - but he is affecting the sight of a complete street - and the other people living there never got asked. kit|schig [È«ê´ƒê’] 1. adj kitschy 2. adv in a kitschy way © Langenscheidt KG, Berlin und München und HarperCollins Publishers Ltd Also: lacking taste or class.
