    Think the lights and the colours are my favourite part of Christmas. Everything looks so much nicer and happier in Christmas. Really looking forward to decorating my classroom for the Christmas season :D

    Yeah, it does, the colours are lovely. I love the reds, golds, purples and greens, actually all of them. Was in Dunnes today and saw their Christmas stuff for the first time, and it looked lovely, magical. :pac:

    Is that just a test run? I'm moving to Dublin tomorrow and would love to see the switching on in a few weeks time. :)
    Yeah, it's just a test run they do for a few days to make sure everything's in working order for the switch on. :)

    Lads, will people post up the Christmas lights in their local town when they're up? I'll do a few of the towns in Roscommon when I'm in them. :)

    Hopefully, they'll be followed by "the holidays" (and the trucks). :)

    They're nothing like the Dublin lights though :( But still pretty :D

    I'm pretty sure some of the lights on the north side of Dublin were switched on today, I saw lights on Parnell St and Talbot St, nothing on O'Connell St, wasn't on the south side of town today.

    As far as I know Greystones christmas lights are being turned on on the 27th. They're nothing much, just those icicle lights on all the buildings of the main street, they're still pretty though, I'll get a picture and throw it up here when they're on :)

    Christmas lights are Christmas lights- no matter where they are I think they have the effect of making somewhere look amazing! :D

    I'm SO going to travel to Dublin this year to see the Christmas lights, they look amazing! :D

    Here in Waterford, some of the lights are up already, but most will be up and lit fairly soon! We also always have a carousel in the middle of the town which is so so so cool! It makes everything seem so Christmassy and just generally lovely! :)

    Found some pictures from Christmas in Waterford on Google!

    Yeah! It's one thing I really like about the city, they put a lot of effort into Christmas! The city council organises a month long Christmas fair too, selling home made products and Christmas food! It's so amazing! :D

    I'll post some pics of this year's light and carousel when they get turned on/come to Waterford!! :)

    As most people have seen, the Grafton St lights are being switched on this Friday at 6pm, not 5pm as originally advertised on the Dublin at Christmas website. :)
