Oh gosh, ye must all have your rose-tinted nostalgia glasses on! Those things were so bad, I didn't like them at all! Always reminded me of huge man-eating furry tarantulas straddling the streets!

Those old decorations were great, always loved them. The new ones you would barely know were actually Christmas decorations. Too slick, too cool, too subtle.

![]() Don't get me wrong, the new ones are not good either... And since when was blue christmassy? But those furry yokes, all dirty and broken. Jebus they needed replacing. I like the oliver plunkett ones, and I know a street as wide as Panna is a challenge... but the choices are surely not limited to creepy multicoloured spiders, vs blue industrial muck.. Grafton street gets it right. ![]() |

I loved the old lights because they were the lights when I was a child. The first few years of the blue lights I didn't like them. Then after a while they grew on me a lot, especially since lights in Opera lane.
I know of a lot of people who give out about the newer lights in Cork saying they preferred the old ones, but I know people in Dublin who say the exact same thing about the lights there. If they didn't change the lights in Cork I think they might looked aged now just due to natural wear and tear and the color of them might look a little dated now. Even our Christmas decorations at home have changed over the years. We still have some of the old stuff but we had to add new stuff to it as well. Young kids will grow up with these lights and these will be the lights they remember from their childhood Christmases and when they change them again in 20 years time they will reminisce about the old blue lights and how good they looked. |
