Neat not gaudy. Nice.

Comment by: Mick on 21st December 2010 at 10:11

Not gaudy ah ah ah.

Its tacky and its got to much of a mixture and completely over the top, better to have less and stick to one theme.

Im glad I dont live opposite

Lovely, but not so nice when the electricity bill drops through the letter box.

Comment by: Kells on 21st December 2010 at 10:15

I’m just wandering how much electricity bill will be! And I bet you would radiation burns from the meter! Lovely photo.

Nice shot JH, did you use a tripod ?

Comment by: Mick P. on 21st December 2010 at 13:31

Another good jigsaw?
No too difficult with all that black.
Great photo though.

I like the 'Star of Bethelehem' from the street lamp.

Comment by: Catherine on 21st December 2010 at 16:19

I wonder how many bulbs weren't working when they got the lights out!

Reply to Cordyline, yes i did use a tripod. For those of you that have children [once the snow has gone]. Take them to see this beautiful masterpiece, it will stay in your childrens thoughts for ever. Great to see the eyes of children when they see this house. Thanks again to all

How unutterably vulgar, and how irresponsible, given the present economic and cosmic climate.

Responsible, unless you do your washing in the dougie,use candles and don't use any electicity or gas, unless renewable, go and hug a tree.

Is that Santa hiding by the right gate post?

The people of this house actually have been doing this for a long time and they have a donation box that they give to charity, Derian house i last heard. I think it is fabulous and they have there own generator i am lead to believe. Don't diss the house. Enjoy it as hundreds of people have in the past and will in the future. My sis lives in the street and i never tire of seeing the lights i luv it when they are on makes you feel all warm inside :) Well done to the family for doing this!!!!!!!

I missed this pic at Christmas. It is wonderfully in the Spirit of Christmas. Yes, they might have a big electricity bill. Yes, it is over the top. But, it certainly cheers and warms the heart at the Christmas season. Love they have a donation box for charity also. Hope everyone has a Happy 2011.

Comment by: chris on 23rd June 2012 at 23:56

love it, love it, love it!!
the winter nights are so long and miserable, and during christmas time
these lovely lights and trees etc give us some cheer for a few weeks.
It's not harming anybody,and there are worse things going on around the world.Keep it up!

i actually live back to back with this house, and i have to say they're a bloody nightmare, haha.
every year we get blinded for at least a month.

they're not the best people to live near
