Oh no,I just saw the first one [Christmas decoration on a car]

Well if you really want to show the world you have given up on life you can attach these to your car and drive around like a complete fool for the next 5/6 weeks.

5/6 weeks, more like 5/6 months, they'll still be on the cars in May

There's a truck I see regularly which didn't take the nose off after Christmas. It's a shriveled brown mess, I don't know how it's stayed on!

I had to be a big grinch this year and tell my little boy that I wasn't putting antlers and the nose on the car. There's way more condensation in the car when they're on because the window seal isn't tight.

Probably welded on with road crud.

And because your dignity evaporates and condenses on the cold window glass

Well, yes, to a lesser extent. It's mainly the condensation! I got fed up of having to be out of the house 10 minutes earlier in the mornings so I could be fully demisted before the school run. That's 10 mins extra in bed this year!

It's stupid and cute at the same time.

There's a Vectra estate in Kildare driving around with a similar brown mess on the outside and on the inside too.
I wish people could put a cap on the number of weeks this sort of tripe is allowed for! Not even december yet!

This reminds me of a beautiful picturesque scenario I witnessed earlier this year.

It's January the 9th of this year. It's cold, wet and lightly drizzling in Darndale/Coolock. It's about 09:10 hrs on this particular damp Tuesday as i walk to the shop for a breakfast roll. I can see the traffic backed up to the roundabout. I picked out this car: 06 Silver Zafira. It's slightly dirty, possibly the full extent masked by the wet off the road. Windows are full of condensation. The car is bouncing slightly as there are a numerous amount of kids in the back jumping about, just about audible to hear screeching from the 20 or so metres I was away. There is a dog in the back too. At the front solely is a balding man, say his mid 30s, hunched forward almost perpendicular with the top of the steering wheel, with a death grip on the wheel and a thousand yard stare, absolutely hating his mere existence, possibly contemplating faking his death/wondering how he has ended up in such a miserable scenario

It truly was a postcard perfect moment. The only thing missing were soggy wilting antlers and brown nose! :P

Probably glued with grime, shaped to it's surroundings at this stage too!

I can only imagine, probably stinks inside of Rothmans and general disdain for basic hygiene :eek:

Alighieri missed the Tenth Circle of Hell, for it is here, on the Northside of Dublin. :pac::pac::pac:

FYP!

Those little dashboard mounted illuminated Christmas trees are worse. I lose the will to live when I see one. What level of cretinism does one have to stoop to to put one of those in a car or van?
