Christmas Decorations on Houses
Some of it is way over the top !!

The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them. -

Fail to see any connection with "goodwill to all", "peace on Earth" and all that jazz in helping to burn up resources that bit quicker.
ESB have been warning for years that there WILL be outages if this crack keeps up.
As with our christenings, funerals and everything in between -we Irish seem to just adore americana based vulgar statement.
...and anyway -unless you like standing around your garden for lenghty periods at night and in deep winter -I see no point in doing up your house like a seaside takeaway.
Actually I can see more point in asking a neighbour across the road if you can hang it all on theirs. ...ah ..but where's the vulgar statement in that?" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"Comment

There was a time (about 5 years ago) when this was a novelty and was something you wouldn't see much of.
There's way too many houses out there now with this type of thing.Comment

Where my folks live it is completely ott. If anyone knows Crumlin they should try driving down Stannaway Road Captains Rd or Bangor rd. Some people say they do it for the kids but somehow I don't think they do!If I question Liam Scales ability to play intl football, refer me to this signature & his peformance at home at lb vs Port on Nov 13 2025.

I don't go for the outside of house thingy but you should see inside my abode. I have a crib in every room, celing and wall decorations and tons of other stuff.
I am putting a small, lighted crib in an alcove outside allright but that's it.
I put up a lot of of animated stuff - some quite rudeish for my mates when they come here at Christmas. We can have a bit of a laugh at those things. while we're having a few drinks.
Another good aspect to having animated stuff (I have non rude ones too) is that when married friends of mine arrive they can let their kids roam the house enjoying the animated stuff and we adults
can chat away and enjoy ourselves without having a bunch of noisy kids to deal with.
Think of the saving on babysitters. LOL
BTW - I don't let the kids see the rude animated stuff.
Some of the outside stuff is way over the top though and, sometimes it becomes a kind of neighbour v neighbour minor bitch fest as well.
Nobody mentioned what their local town does for Christmas....y'know street decorations.
I was in Longford at Christmas 1997 and the main street there was awesome - best I've ever seen..........anywhere.Comment

Limericks is quite good this year on the main streets -and that's despite the city centers economy going belly up.
Like most cities much of the retail sector can now be found in the donut shaped ring around the city -roughly along the bypass."

Funnily enough I think that theres less tat on houses this year than last. Certainly in Tallaght I think theres a bit less than last year.Comment

I think some people just really love christmas and that's why they do it. Other's it's keeping up with the neighbours.
We have those icicle lights along the front of the house, and it looks well even in my bah humbug opinion. Wouldn't go much more than that though - the one's that go for the blackpool look just too much for me....If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.Comment
