Most of you here in the US know the Christmas displays have been out since before Halloween. And now and until Christmas we will be inundated with songs. So allow me to be first to start your Christmas song torments. 🐭
Don't encourage me, I could spend from now until christmas posting swinging christmas tunes. I just love having this stuff on in the background around the house as the soundtrack to my life during this time of year. Here's one from the queen herself
This BB christmas instrumental evokes memories of a refrain I often heard in my misspent youth: The bar is closed. We don't care where you go - but you can't stay here. 😀
great fun post ….. you and Randy can do a battle of holidays songs yayay yayayayay yayay.
Around here the dead ghosts and skeletons will very quickly ( already happened on half the street ) be replaced with the dead Santa’s, snowmen and Santa- reindeer sets. Laser shows etc. ( inflatable, lying on the ground , uninflated days ) we have three “ lanes “ ( Christmas tree lanes ) …one of which is so extreme it’s known nationally.
We don’t have the winter like other parts of the country, we make up for it with “ extreme “ Xmas decorations
The house at the end of the video wins multiple national awards every Christmas.
Well they’re definitely not “solar powered “. But I love the lights. My tree is up year round because Christmas is kept in your heart year round. Did you watch the battle of the house with Christmas lights on YouTube?
I have seen a number of them, the ones they have on the shootout Christmas tree light TV show are spectacular and must be months of work. Still … like the house in Randy’s post below …many - most use night club style intensity modulators and you can see them just driving by. In the video I posted, …the house at the end ( there are many videos of it on YouTube ) of the video is so large and varied, there is an area to park and walk around in it ,its huge. You can’t experience it fully driving past. You might argue that it’s too big to be a house but up there on Van Ness the houses are giant mansions and “ all that “ actually is just one home. Yayahahahaya yayahahahaya The city provides lane lights , music, and electricity …. Free …to the home owners to promote the event. Kinda cheating , huh.
We have a golf cart Christmas Light parade every year. I’m one of the lucky ones… it goes right past my house. So I can sit on a lounge chair and have a drink and enjoy the show. This isn’t our but similar.
ooooh …. That sounds like fun … especially the lounge chair / drinks part. I’ll drive my etrike over and we can wow them in the GC parade. You don’t live in “ The Villages “ near Tampa do you “ yayay yayayay.
Yayahahahaya. … I’ve liked peanuts for as long as I can remember. kinder , simpler, nicer than real life sometimes. It’s fun to escape there …now and then … of course therze pot and booze lol. …. Fun.
One of the great shows during this time is from Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I saw them when they were first starting out on tours in small venues. They’re huge now and have several members in the group.
I hope this thread has brought you all some happiness through this time of year. If it sparked a little bit of joy and comfort. Just hold on to it when you feel stressed or overwhelmed remember you are not alone.
