Lights on houses are nice if done tastefully and in moderation!!! There seems to be an awful anti-christmas on the After Hours forum, do ye not enjoy christmas or something?

i love christmas but i think that the outdoor santa's haning out the window/climbing up the house are just tack central. when i was younger i was all loving bright, colourdy christmas decorations, but now i prefer more tasteful decorations, nice silver decorations, white lights.

What so because they live in smaller spaces, they cant put up lights? Anyway did anybody ever think the lights are put up for the childrens benefit, I mean, I dont particularly like the lights, I agree with less is more and If you dont like them Nightwish, just dont look at them .

If lights look tacky on houses they're hardly going to look classy hanging off a balcony of a flat, whether it be on an inner city flat complex or a gated apartment block. It just so happens that the residents of the aforementioned flat complexes have terrible lights hanging off them, and its not as if one can ignore them, they resemble floodlights and probably use up twice as much electricity.

There is a house in Artane that is done up big time and they leave thier side gate open and they have a big display out thier backgarden aswell, they houseowners do this for 2 reasons, for the children, and the other is they have a donation box for various charities aswell, and they raise thousands upon thousands every year.

I'd give them a grand to turn them off:D
