[Misc] Christmas Lights

[studio150]

Yes the first outside Christmas Lights have been spotted.

Only 72 days to go and already up.

Is this a record?

Maybe somebody just wants a bit of joy amid a fairly shitty year.

I could see a lot of people doing it earlier than they normally would this year. Though I personally draw the line at anything before 1st December.

St Ives will be switching on their lights two weeks today. I think there will be plenty of people switching theirs on and getting their trees up this month.

Christmas lights were put up in Swindon town centre nearly 2 weeks ago on Oct 3rd

Bit different for local authorities and shops though: they're understandably desperate to get people out Christmas shopping. That's always the case, even in a normal year.

Agree that Joe Public might go to town on their houses sooner (and bigger) then usual. Let's face it, there aren't going to be office Christmas parties (unless you work in an office of less than six), while you'd imagine the supply of jolly faced, white bearded old pensioners who are willing to sit in an enclosed shed while hundreds of children queue up to see them is going to be dwindling somewhat. What else are we going to do except get drunk and turn our houses into Clark Griswold's?

To make some space put the step ladders up there until December.

I saw Halloween decorations all over a window of a house in Newhaven yesterday.
Yes I know Halloween is at the end of this month, but many people put decorations up on the actual day, I do seem to remember seeing one house last year with Halloween decorations up on October 1st.

Not normally a fan of going all out on Christmas and Christmas decorations etc ..The way I have always seen it is that there have always been so many better times throughout the year, Away games, Home games, Holidays, weekends away etc etc where as 2020 has put a stop to a lot of that I say let go all out this year - Lets have Sussex lit up and shinning bright !!!

I´ve already purchased advent calendars this year. Need something to look forward to

I don't feel like Christmas this year. I haven't seen my son up north for twelve months, nor any inlaws. I haven't seen my daughter since the end of July which was in her garden. I just wanted to hug her but couldn't/
Putting decorations up will only remind me of what I am missing.

Lucky you.

Couldn't care less about Christmas this year - not likely that I'll be in a position to go home, my partner will probably be in the same position in addition to it being the first Christmas since he lost his Dad (neither of us has seen any of our family in person since Xmas/New Year last year).

All in all, not a lot of Christmas cheer chez Frutos I suspect.

I know we don’t see eye to eye on many things, but I do feel for you. I do hope that the UK gets a little cheer at Xmas, but. I also fear that Boris has done too little, too late. You are a strong person, you will get through this, and one day we will all be with our loved ones again.

Christmas is usually quiet at our place, and I'm sure it will be this year.

as for lights, I have mine up all year round. . .

A family were putting their tree up in Goring on 10th September when I drove past. Struck me as a tad early.

Can't we just give it a miss this year ? I know it means missing out on Mrs Browns' Boys Christmas Special but we have to make sacrifices.
