That is nice.

Yeah that's actually tasteful (if a little ott) as opposed to flashy coloured lights and bike riding santas.

Ta.

It was not so bright in real life, that is the camera exposure.

I did get carried away and tried to balance it all out.

Now We just have a mix of white and gold icicle lights along the roof ridge.

We dont have anything on the outside of the house, just some lights and a light up snowman at the window and various things around the living room.

****** gonna pike.

There was a photo doing the rounds of Facebook of a really overdone house and next door had used rope lights on their house to spell out "ditto".

Christmas decorations in tacky shocker!

Hate exterior decorations and lights, the wife mentioned about us having some last week.....she wont mention it again

I honestly cannot think of many things more *****/chavtastic than external xmas decorations.

When I was a kid we used to put loads of little ornaments and stuff up, and a 'Santa stop here' sign in the front garden. The whole living room was covered in tacky lights, plastic pictures we stuck on the windows, etc...

Now I have only just put a tree up

Getting older sucks!

We've just done our tree. It's tacky as. I can't stand coloured lights.

There's always one person that goes OTT with christmas decorations.

Doomedspeed · 18 Dec 2011 at 18:33

Walking to shop last night and spotted this house near me, just complete over the top compared to the rest of the street, notice a lot more houses like this as the years go on.

Just looks tacky and desperate.

This is how it looks 11 months of the year.

We have a set of fairy lights on the gutter and a small set of lights on a bush in the garden, all for festive decorations but sometimes you have to say WTF

So you just happened to take a photo of the house before they put the decorations up?
