The ones with battery compartments that you need a screwdriver to get into. Just why?

And also, why do I always replace the screw instead of just leaving it out?

Really fast flashing outdoor lights, I cannot understand the point of them!

You want to celebrate christmas, go to a rave, what do you want?!

There's 5 houses down my street with them, and it's like I've just walked into a 90's Rave.

Nah. Don't do duvets.

Christmas cards I will do cos people have bought them from charity shops/organisations (well my friends/family do that!)

It's just another dsay for me...

We are in the middle of a planet wide climate change crisis and yet people insist on lighting up their houses like Blackpool illuminations, wasting goodness knows how much energy, and increasing the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere. WHY!!!!

On the plus side, I can find the keyhole to my front door much easier.

Nothing worse than a tacky house with flashing Christmas lights that look the like outside of an all you can eat Chinese buffet.

The end of life as we know it.

No more foreign holidays.

No leaving your house.

No going to a concert or away footie match.

No more xmas lights.

No more Jungle Celebrities.

Every single thing we do questioned for carbon footprint.

Drip fed by the media until we take it as the norm.

Disney's Wall-E film is the most prophetic movie of all time as we all turn into lard arsed stay home layabouts having everything delivered to us. Why can we not see this as a nation?

Life is only worth living for the enjoyable bits. Let's not fuck up what little joys we still have while we're allowed them.

Most xmas lights are LED now so only a fraction of the power tungsten bulbs used to pull.

With the jump in gas / electric monthly charge, I can't afford anything but the indoor tree lights.

Tinsel! I can't stand the stuff. Tinsel free zone at mine. I do have Santas washing line up, with mini peggs and his trousers all hung up.

You need to keep the ones out of the Xmas crackers. They are ideal for this

Balloons. Spend all that time blowing them up only to be unable to tie them up, and all your hard work gets passed over to someone else for them to tie, only they always let a bit of air out before doing the knot.

Gah!
