A Christmas Excession

Happy birthday nuttyxander and jesus_christ.

As I've been particularly Bah Humbug this year I shall make up for it now for those who actually enjoy the Christmas excess.



For the last few years, a local businessman (Woodley, Berkshire) has always gone over-the top with the Christmas decorations. Last year he made the national newspapers, and as a result the quiet road he lives on is now filled with parked cars every night as people come to look. This year the local council have also banned him from playing Christmas music because, strangely, it annoys the neighbours.

He told me last year it adds a couple of hundred quid to his electricity bill... small change for him, I expect, and he does also have a few collecting tins for local charities. He got all the stuff on the cheap at trade prices and keeps it all in a dozen boxes in his attic for the rest of the year. Apart from the whingeing neighbours he told me the biggest hassle is all the kids who come around in the small hours and piss around with the wiring. I think he was again in The Times yesterday.
