Default Thread dedicated to Xmas Decorated Houses

Can we keep this years entries all in one thread please.

Take pictures of houses decorated in masses of christmas lights and post them here!

We may have to do a special thread for Essex, but we will see how it goes.

I wouldn't use a camera in those streets for fear of it being stolen!

To be honest I am little dissapointed with these......but its a start. I am not sure how we pick a winner...maybe most lights per square meter of house facade?

A neighbour is OBSESSED with xmas lights. I'll get some pics tonight.

One street in another village is like daylight at night! Last year they had a 15FT statue of the character played by Robbie Coltrane in Harry Potter - think this year its shrek.

3 shots taken at the weekend, in glorious Essex (Wickford and Rayleigh).

The first shot depicts a house that has been "decorated" in 2 sides, created a xmas theme walkway and a garden!



The 2nd house has an animated see saw thing going on.......and what's that at the bottom of the picture.....yep, I think its a impreza spoiler!

Go here: http://www.uploadimages.net click Browse and select your photo file, then click upload

When it has finished uploading copy the code that is shown in the box under "Clickable Thumbnails for Forums" (2nd from bottom) and paste it into your message on this site.

(I'd leave the uploaded window with the code open until you are sure its worked on this site in case you copy the code wrong)
