Do You Have Outdoor Christmas Decorations?

Kandy you must have picked the wrong chap I usually get up early(that surprised you) sort the presents for mrs Wanut make her breakfast in bed wash up jump on my bike (regardless of weather)go the cemetary 6miles away remember loved ones and place flowers dash back (mrs W has gone to church) get everything ready for lunch, welcome all incoming, serve dinner, wash up and go for a nice walk accompanied by anyone wishing to join me, help prepare christmas tea, all done without a blaze of lights and everyone enjoying themselves (they come back every year)But everybody to their own,I just think like bonfire night it goes on too long and is to commercialised.

 

Geoff says that the men pay for Xmas,well not in our house.My hubby pays a lot of the bills,so at Christmas I am the one that tends to buy all the xmas stuff so it works out even

Walnut,you are from a different generation where the husbands did do more in the family home,or perhaps you have a wife with either a bigger whip than I have or else she is more forceful in getting you to do all the things you do :D

Woo you are right,I always spend some time remembering the loved ones who are no longer with us,and for many years we always had family or friends who were far worse off than us round for the day,and we used to dress the house outside with fairy lights so that we had the joy of seeing the little ones faces when it got dark and we turned them on.

That is what for us made Christmas,not all the people flying off to the States to buy their little darlings the latest Furbie toy or Cabbage Patch toy because they could't bare to think that their children were deprived of the latest must have toy.They are the ones who have lost the plot.No wonder the shop keepers are laughing all the way to the bank.
