....to put their Xmas tree up :facepalm:
Mrs did ours last weekend.
Well that game didn't last long Dave :grin:
My wife mentioned it last weekend, and I said, surely you have to wait till December. Apparently not Col :grin:
Not me Steve, I woke up one morning & there it was, reckon she got bored.
If mine goes up before Christmas eve I think it's too soon :thumbs_down:
And here is me thinking our Aussie members celebrate Christmas in june :confused1:

XMas in July is an excuse to get on the grog down here whilst the weather is more like traditional XMas weather, we generally need an reason to get on the grog - too hot, too cold, not too hot, not too cold are some reasons that come to mind.
I don't own one.
Lumps of coal for me I think. :lol:
None never bah humbug. Mrs is a witch and I don't believe :devil: :stir: :hat:

Top job Beast.
Beast.....think of the planet man !! They are having to build a whole new coal fired power station just to run your xmas lights. :stir:
I never knew what an old bunch of Bah humbugs we were :grin:
It has surprised me how many don't even put a tree up. :onya:
Our tree went up last weekend, but I have always been forced to go along with the whole Xmas thing, because my wife is into it all :rolleyes:
It has settled right down now though.
:hat: Beast, nice effort there.
No tree at ours, going to my nieces instead,sit down to a three meat dinner, roast beef, turkey, and a cold ham, roast tatty's Yorkshire puds and all the trimmings then go home again so I don't have to listen to a bunch of screaming kids arguing about whose turn it is on the game controls (no kids of my own). Sit down in a quiet house and open up a couple of cold ones and watch tv. :cheers: :cheers: :popcorn: :onya:

Nah, think of the coal miners n their jobs.
We couldn't do that here Col. Most likely need resourse consent and certainly would have to cover the house in scaffolding along with having a traffic management plan to put them up. lnsurance cover would be void because of unconsented, non compliant electrical work. :facepalm:
There's a couple of suburbs in town here that have quite a few displays like Beasts'. One does it & so the neighbours do it a bit more & their neighbours do it even more. Ya get the picture, but it actually looks amazing driving through the area. There are always heaps & heaps of cars n families out walking these areas at night close to Christmas.
I prefer the sparkly lights I see with a few good JD's or Jimmy Black under me belt though . . .
Lots of houses way over the top around here. They look good but just so much effort & money. They have the best listed in paper and even bus tours to check them out. I usually have some lights but this year a bit difficult.
