Christmas Lights

Mister Wright · 28-11-2004, 03:29 PM

Is it too early to be putting the Christmas lights up? We did it yesterday, and it isn't even December yet. Even most of the shops around here haven't got their Christmas decorations up yet.

When do you guys put your Christmas lights up?

Because this place has nothing going for it for the rest of the winter, they tend to spend months celebrating christmas.. When it is all a big load of boll***s here anyway..

Christmas lights in town went up on October 26th (yep you read that as October the twenty sixth).. Got switched on in early november I think..

As a family, we shove them up halfway through December

december first we do christmas lights, or the weekend after it, ifit falls during the week, i told mum not to worry this year, but shes still keen....

Usually after school lets out. It's ridiculous to put it up more than a month early (no offence Kyle

) as it sort of detracts from the spirit of Christmas. Here in Trinidad they've had lights up in stores for weeks and the television/radio advertising has been about the same. Sort of ruins it for me.

How does it distract from the spirit of Christmas? Christmas is all about bright lights, love and giving.

Most of the shops around here (Perth) have started to put their lights up, but we don't put ours up to at earliest December 1st

_Ed_ · 29-11-2004, 01:30 AM

We put ours up in the first weekend in December usually. The mall that I work at has all of them up already, along with the repeated Christmas Carols. Over and over again. I HATE Frosty the Snowman.

Yeah, in the CBD they switched the lights on a couple of weeks back. Too early IMO

Are you going all out Buggs (National Lampoon's style)?

We only have one window done at the front of our house. I'll try take a photo and post it.
