Christmas decorations up yet?

Broncho · 12-06-2018, 05:09 PM

Mine went up on the 1st, I’ve gone very Clark Griswold this year, I’m thinking about plugging mine in to my next door neighbours outside socket whilst she’s in Spain, if not I’ll be broke by February.

I’m treating it as a competition for the most lights and biggest fire hazard on the street.

I have a xmas decs embargo of the 2nd December, as the 1st is my Birthday.

Wife is away though so they haven’t gone up yet. Might do it this weekend for when she gets back, if I can be arsed.

Does feel like it’s ok to drink every night when they’re up!

Being of a slightly older generation I can recall when it was considered early if they were up by the 12th!!

Embargoed in our house until after 3rd (when my wife died) or 7th (when daughter got engaged) but will be going up this weekend no doubt.

Nothing outside - ok if you have a tree outside, anything else so chavvy...

Those were the days... My grandma couldnt stand them, said they were dust harbourers, so they would be down and away the day after boxing day when everything went back to normal...

Not like the you of today who expect 2 weeks off work and parties and stuff for about a month before that...

Bah humbug...
