[Brighton] Christmas light displays on peoples houses .

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

They're like tattoos - totally naff and usually found in areas of Social housing - but hey ho, if that's your thing then knock yourself out.

I actually don't mind them, but just can't be arsed to spend the time it must take to put all the crap up!

So, to sum up: you sneer at them but you actually quite like them and appreciate the efforts of those who take the time and trouble to put them up

*** GRINCH ALERT ***

Always surprises me that people are concerned about the planet, the cost of fuel and then ...... BOOM, loads of lights up for around a month and a half, and none of it recyclable.

Not everyone, sadly!

shouldn‘t take them to long to find out who Mrs X is and where she lives …. just think of the neighbourly gifts she may be left as 2023 closes and 2024 arrives ….

Saxifrage Way in Durrington was phenomenal last year

It's so bright you can see it through the trees as you drive down Titnore Lane.

Not as bright as the house opposite the Mulberry though - covered in white lights which give the whole area a glow.

I would invest in more tacky lights and have them on day and night. Then I would hide a few chicken carcasses around her property and throw dog shit at her when she walked past. The immediate neighbour will get a few 'we know where you live' messages. It's a statement of fact, but it'll put the willys up 'em!

Always a good display in Amberley Drive Hove. There is a chap who decorates the front of his flat in Hornby road Bevendean, Not visited either in 2023 though

The Amberley Drive one has sold up and moved away.

BTW, my display of thousands of leds, is predominantly blue and white

Make your mind up eh.

Couldn't afford the electricity bill?

A bit of a drive from Brighton, but the village of Westfield nr Hastings, always has a decent display.

Round here all the posh areas have incredible light displays, like they're trying to out do each other. There's a road in canford cliffs (near sandbanks that looks like something out of home alone.

Didn't Baker lite come from Durrington ? It couldn't be, could it

 

[Is it PotG?]

Not a fan, all a bit US but each to their own.

Only benchmark is that in our 'modest' row the biggest dickhead has the biggest display.

I’m slowly building up a collection of inflatable Xmas tat as the mother in law hates them and I honestly think, if I get enough, eventually it will keep her away.

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

You know when the front door is wrapped up with a massive bow? That means the lady of the house is up for …erm… making a few extra bob when the old man’s at work.

If you don’t believe me, I read it on Facebook so it’s gotta be true.

They tend to work a treat for that purpose. Most MIL’s just can’t navigate around them as they approach landing their broomsticks

Ah, the Phil Spector Christmas album, literally the only album that stands the test of time and comes out EVERY year

Unlike Phil Spector who is never coming out again...

 

[METALMICKY]

What's with all the bah humbug and if you've got kids or grandchildren it's brilliant when it's done well.

If you live in Eastbourne, Decoy Drive and Willingdon Park Drive are usually pretty good and a little further out Westfield near Hastings is spectacular.
