The children would be transfixed to that tree,Nicol,absolutely beautiful !.thanks for sharing.
Hi
One annoying thing was sorted this morning.
Zac and Derek are back late last night.
The Hoodie who takes a delight in gobbing in my garden will not be gobbing anywhere for some time.
I’m confused SF,I thought this thread was about Christmas decorations?
not someone gobbing in your garden.
The colours really dont show in the pic Pauline…but you can see a little of what it is like.
That is so pretty,Aysa,it looks like a very bright rainbow effect,love it!.
I bought it at our local Garden Centre…Im going back to buy more lol
OMGoodness Nicol…I love that Village Christmas Tree…from the very top, to the bottom with an electric train. Children of all ages would be mesmerised by it… 
Reading all of the above it seems that once you get older attitudes to Christmas change.
Some changes are evident in the greetings card shops as well. (Where did they come from, anyway? My local Asda shopping Mall (horrible word) has three :shock:
They’re like candle shops. Ten years ago they didn’t exist; now they’re infesting every shopping mall from Bodmin to Bannockburn. How many stuffed Garfields and heart-shaped balloons do we need?
Why can’t we just buy our greetings cards from the limited display next to the jars of sweets in the local newspaper shop, just like we used to do? With the price written on the back in pencil, which we always forgot to remove?)
Anyway, I needed to pick up a Get Well Soon card for a recovering alcoholic, ( I kid you not)and I saw a Christmas card inscribed: “To Dad and Partner”. Says a lot that, about the way we live our modern lives I suppose.
On the surface, it’s a heartfelt sentiment. Underneath is confusion, bitterness and tears. I don’t know why they just don’t be honest and make Cards dedicated “To Dad and that Slut with the Loose Knickers from Number 62”.
Or, to be fair, “To Mum and the 25-year-old Somalian tribesman whose mud hut you fled to last year. Enjoy the goats. And the used spectacles No! I didn’t see that one!
I really don’t understand the 21st Century, I had problems with the 20th. The trouble is there is no bloody alternative
I am a 73 Yr old white male, ( am I allowed to say that?) for most of my adult life there have been two constants:
- Africa “needs” money, especially at Xmas.
- Israelis and Palestinians hate each other.
apparently nowadays I’m responsible for both.
…and breath
Sorry I went off at a tangent there…
I must admit to enjoying your " tangent" Rehab…
I put the plain lights up today,Aysa,
I saw that too Nicol, I wish I could make one!
As for cards, try finding one for “brother-in-law” without "sister"on it my sister is no longer with us, I’ll buy a general one instead I think.
Thank you, I blame the government, Brexit, and global warming I cant help it
I like those Pauline ,
where will you put the red lights?
The red lights are still there,Aysa,red lights one day,plain lights the next,

LIGHTS TEST test testing…
five sets tested and working …now that is a result…the yellow sparkles in the near middle are actually candles that go on our Tree…the specks at the top left are flashy types that burn out quick as a rule…others can go a tad randomly…Yes pleased I got them out now…

They look nice Di. Give off a cosy light in the dark, amazing how some sparkly lights can cheer things up.
Glad you followed Mr Ps rules always test your lights out before you wear them. 
Haven’t started our indoor decs yet. Will need to check ours out to make sure they are working.
Have put up our outdoor lights though and they all work. Will have to take some photos.
