This is our place, I started in August and turned them on last week.

Re: The '2009 look at my Xmas lights' thread!
 

One of the very few laugh out loud moments I have when reading stuff.

Post of the year I think :rofl: :rofl:

Re: The '2009 look at my Xmas lights' thread!
 

Ours are up (have been for a week or two...while its still warm!), but having them ON in November is just such poor taste dontchathink:p

Re: The '2009 look at my Xmas lights' thread!
 

Absolutely not - I have the christmas cd's playing already :o

I also don't give a rats ass what anyone else thinks, sparkly lights and Boney M singing "Marys Boy Child" are order of the day

You missed a bit on the roof.

Re: The '2009 look at my Xmas lights' thread!
 

I started in July but I could only afford to turn them on for the five minutes it took to take the photo

...Well at least I didn't miss a bit on the roof.

Re: The '2009 look at my Xmas lights' thread!
 

I must be acclimatising. I actually got up the ladder last week, when it hit 10 degrees, and put all our lights up. I've only done the up-the-ladder routine once in minus 10 and that was enough for me and my fingers, thank you. I get it.

We have no extension leads sorted out to plug them in yet and that definitely should not happen until December. Half my neighbourhood is lit up, and it does look pretty, and I do love Xmas lights - but just not 6 or 8 weeks worth - they loose their special-ness!

I think someone on this site once hinted that many Canadians view them more as "winter" lights - hence the reason they are aglow from mid November till mid January. I dunno.

Jings - fab arrangement dahling :thumbup:

Cheers :D

Re: The '2009 look at my Xmas lights' thread!
 

So going up on the roof was a bit touch and go (ladders and me don't mix) but heres ours so far.

Still have 2 more sets of reindeer to varnish to go with the santa sleigh - and I have to draw and cut rudolph out today!!!!

Yay - we are complete Xmas freaks here so don't care how garish it looks hahahaha

Re: The '2009 look at my Xmas lights' thread!
 

This one's an old one but a good one. ;)

Re: The '2009 look at my Xmas lights' thread!
 

You might wish to adjust the lights on the front (second photo). The first thing I saw was "OAP".

Re: The '2009 look at my Xmas lights' thread!
 

I didn't notice that. Now I can't unsee it...

Re: The '2009 look at my Xmas lights' thread!
 

Awww she did that just for me. :o

But she's three years early. :sneaky::p

Re: The '2009 look at my Xmas lights' thread!
 

Sorry.

Back in a mo. I need a dump.

Re: The '2009 look at my Xmas lights' thread!
 

thanks for the info Souv :(

If i'm honest I hate those rope lights and would prefer some of the twinkly ones, but HID had them before I moved in so its a case of suck it up - yes now all I see is OAP, if I have time today I will try and adjust them :)

Re: The '2009 look at my Xmas lights' thread!
 

With a little skill you could go for
D U K :p

Re: The '2009 look at my Xmas lights' thread!
 

What a cool idea hahaha :rofl: or change the last letter and do it properly :thumbup:

Re: The '2009 look at my Xmas lights' thread!
 

Yes I considered suggesting that (F'in PEDANT :p)

Re: The '2009 look at my Xmas lights' thread!
 

Don't you mean the first letter?

Re: The '2009 look at my Xmas lights' thread!
 

I knew you were going for the nickname :)

I thought of that too :rofl:

Re: The '2009 look at my Xmas lights' thread!
 

Filthy minds (including me, in fact that was my FIRST thought and then I decided otherwise)

Re: The '2009 look at my Xmas lights' thread!
 

mmm can just imagine - it will go from "that house on the hill with all the lights" to "don't look at that filth children"

Shit now you've got me thinking theoretically what else could be spelled on one side in rope lights, cheers. :(

Re: The '2009 look at my Xmas lights' thread!
 

Theoretically, you could write "Santa wolfbags". It would require some effort, though.

Re: The '2009 look at my Xmas lights' thread!
 

Don't bother with words; use pictures.

Re: The '2009 look at my Xmas lights' thread!
 

and about $200 worth of ropelights

:eek:

Re: The '2009 look at my Xmas lights' thread!
 

You could possibly combine the two suggestions? It may save money. It may also get you into the local newspaper. Or some sort of register.

Re: The '2009 look at my Xmas lights' thread!
 

had to do something in keeping with the redneck theme :rolleyes:

Re: The '2009 look at my Xmas lights' thread!
 

LOVE it:rofl:

Re: The '2009 look at my Xmas lights' thread!
 

My God, all the electricity in my house goes off if I so much as turn washing machine and kettle on at same time.
Could explain why Italians do not really light up their houses - perhaps a tree in the garden.

I have got some solar powered fairy lights this year to decorate all the terrace.
