I honestly don't get it with people and having so many lights/decorations etc
Is it because they want/like the attention?
Or keeping up with and beating the joneses
Maybe you have several young children an if so then fair enough I suppose, even then the novelty will soon wear off on them I'd imagine.

Now..well you can see for yourself , but she loves it and so do the kids and whilst I dont have the heart to give her the electricity bill come february, I might have to to soon
I prefer the subtle look but as long as she likes it, that is all that matters

I thought this was a windup at first, and then i remembered that i have been to your house about 5 years ago to buy that turbo, and it does actually look like the house that i remember 
I don't do the home decorations thing, although i do put a few up around the car wash.

Luckily she hasn't done that to her scoob because there is no bloody way I would drive it I can't be bothered with outside lights and I knew Swiss before he met my sister and yes her used to have a real tree (still does) and a few lights and that was it, it's plain to see who wears the trousers in that house now
The house looks fantastic this year though, not my cup of tea with the work that goes into it but it looks amazing! At least it's easier to find your house in the dark

TBH, before I met my fiancee, I had one small tree for the presents, a little thing for the window, a rope light down the stairs and ONE set of icicles for the back door. That was it.
Now..well you can see for yourself , but she loves it and so do the kids and whilst I dont have the heart to give her the electricity bill come february, I might have to to soon
I prefer the subtle look but as long as she likes it, that is all that matters

Lot of others will get pleasure from seeing it too.

Though that is why she likes the lights, so she can find the house when she hasnt got her glasses on

Must admit, my missus makes fun and says the "Car wash Christmas Extravaganza" is the ****tiest Santas Grotto ever 
But the kids who go through the wash love it, we have a few other lights/light up santa things that go up, and the external speaker on the side of the building now plays Christmas Carols all day long to the public
The 2 lads usually make around 350quid each in tips during the CWCE event
So it must have some kind of effect!
