tabletennisman Member 44 Member For: 17y 11m 11d Gender: Male Location: Toowoomba, QLD Posted 01/12/08 06:57 AM Share Posted 01/12/08 06:57 AM we had 12000 lights on our house/yard last year, but don't think we'll bother this year. It really does take a long time to put up/take down.. At a guess, it probably took us around 60 hours to put them up last year! Not to mention every single night spending ~30mins fixing/finding all the blown bulbs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you skip presents for a few birthdays and Christmas's, friends and relatives soon have their expectations well in check No, I an not a kent, just don't get sucked in by the commercial propaganda. I just eat all my parents food and drink all the old mans beer if I have an unlikely attack of the guiltsTrentus , do you see a trend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China gets enough of my money. Besides I hate christmasIts a religious celebration of which I am not now its commercialised which I hate. I do enjoy tjough the pleasure on the faces of the littleuns when they get a present, which I have none at allSo basically ba humbag and christmas can get stuffed.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member 852 Member For: 16y 9m 24d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 01/12/08 11:41 PM Share Posted 01/12/08 11:41 PM I was contemplating putting out the "LIVE NUDES" (Big Daddy style) neon sign on my verandah with some traditional xmas lights strung around it but my Mrs. pulled the plug on that because she reckons the neighbours with kids wouldn't approve.I tried to tell her, "we're in FRANKSTON sweetheart, most of these kids will either end up working at strip clubs or frequenting them" but it didn't fly.f*ckin' grinch!
