Christmas Lights...
Right I've brought 3 kms of lights over from the UK (obviously).
Do they go up? If so, when do they go up? Be a waste not to use them. Any (reasonable) suggestions please. :) |
Re: Christmas Lights...
Normally once December 1 hits its good to go.I notice here that people put ther decorations up sooner rather .However in some parts of our garden we have lighs up all year round.

Re: Christmas Lights...
Quite a few are up already but they tend to be the ones going in for the council competitions for best displays. Any time from now is good. I've got to buy a new lot this year as Tiddler has had the current lot hooked up around her bedroom all year and won't give them up. :rolleyes::lol:

Re: Christmas Lights...
I hate over the top displays with blow up santas. Much prefer a tasteful and discreet display, unless it is for a good cause that is. I don't put up outside or inside lights other than a white set for the tree which will go up once term finishes. At least I won't blow the budget for the electric bill.(Doing my bit to save the planet!!)

Complete hijacking of the thread... sorry Alf!
Anyone know if there's a website that list's the houses (North Brisbane) in the competitions so I can take the kids to see them? |

Probably not listed until the council in question has announced the winners. Then they should be listed on the council website or in the local rag.
No worries. Where would we get to see pics of these said compo winners? |
