Weird Holiday Decorations!
I've noticed some "odd" Christmas decorations and Holiday paraphernalia available here, perhaps you would care to add to the list
Illuminated palm trees Those nutcrackers especially the giant one, I find them slightly sinister looking and do they actually crack nuts? The angels for the top of the tree are enormous and look like those hideous dressed dolls you can buy in Argos. Bits of leylandii conifers stuck in pots Eggnog, hands up who likes it, I've not yet mustered up the courage to try it. That said, I admit we have a plastic Timbit snowman thingy taking pride of place on our tree!! :rofl: PS I'm not knocking Canada, or trying to make anyone jealous, just thought we needed to get a light hearted thread going ;) |

Those Timbit snowman ornaments are hot property in our office right now. :D

Re: Weird Holiday Decorations!
Only way i can drink eggnog is in coffee. It's too sickly otherwise.

What else would you expect from a mug of custard?

Re: Weird Holiday Decorations!
I've yet to sample the delights of egg nog - it seems a little scary, it's in a milk carton:eek: Maybe I should make some when we're back in the UK and force the rellies to try it with me:rofl:
Oh and yes there are some really weird deccies too. I remember people in the UK decorating their outsides and a lot of them that went beyond just lights would have some sort of theme going, whether it be just a couple of colours or as much as a train going around an erupting volcano type thing - well just down the road they have gone mad and every year they add a little to the madness. We have the Grinch going up and down a ladder stealing Santa's sack - nothing wrong with that, we also have the nativity - nothing wrong with that, we also have frosty and family blow ups - nothing wrong with that, then we have the multi coloured lights in the trees, the individual light up animals, the multi coloured light up animals, the flashing snowflakes, the candy canes. Individually these things could look quite tasteful, when they're altogether in one front garden it's a bit much. lol. Has anyone heard of hiding a pickle in a tree? |

Our decs are pretty normal - we have an 8 ft santa in his sleigh being pulled by 6 reindeer (each 4ft long) along the front fence of the garden. Can't put up any decs on the ground outside the house - thinkk pretty white lighted deer, moose, horse drawn carriages, lamps etc - because the dog thinks they are dinner. (Learnt the lesson after 16 candy canes were chewed up overnight last year. |

Piff Poff, thought you had been here ages so I am surprised you haven't yet had any eggnog! Isn't it compulsory like Timmies ;)

Timmies isn't compulsory, merely ludicrous, as is eggnog.
