I might be a lone voice here, but I don't really want to see xmas lights until December, usually by the end of November I'm sick of hearing about xmas, I love it all in December but these days it goes on so long the magics gone!

No your not alone, Now don't get me wrong I love all the decs and holly but not in the first week of november. Its not xmas for weeks yet.

I've just finished putting up our 60th lighting set in the house.  Next week, I'll start on the outside sets.

Personally, I like xmas lighting from the moment the clocks go back. It's something which lifts the mood in the long, dark winter days.

Have you tried a SAD lamp Ian?  8)

The new thing for SAD seems to be a move towards the Blue Lamp.       ¢¢##

Y'know, it's not that rare a condition, being mildly depressed by long, dark nights and short, gloomy days. We don't need to concede to the pseudo-psychotherapists employed by the DFM to realise that it's not such a bad thing to have something to lighten the winter months.

There's that house in Junction covered in xmas lights. hats off to the owner, his house looks fantastic. My lads always loved to go up there over the xmas period. It must really take some effort not to mention finance. I bet he's a really nice guy.

The owners of the house on the right made me laugh, by keeping up with the Jones' in their own festive way.

 :)   When you see Blackpools lights damaged by the wind and they claim to have had one million pounds worth of damage it puts the town councils one thousand pound  budget for supplying LLandudno with a wonderful xmas display into perspective.It has been said that the town council have no idea where their Alice in Wonderland  lights went too,well according to the news they were blown down again in Blackpool last night. On a serious note please take a look at how busy town is tomorrow and think WHY OH WHY does our town council put so little into the town over the xmas period.Any of you going to Chesire Oaks,Chester,Liverpool,Wrexham,Manchester  or Trafford center have a look around and see what the opposition have,lights ,trees you will notice they are all up and because people are xmas shopping.It may be a bit silly to compare with big cities but why do we have to be  IN THE DARK AGES. :-[
