Hey.
You know the world’s like facing this global energy crisis, yeah?
An’ you know we’re all runnin’ out of, well, oil an’ stuff an’ that?
An’ you know how there’s adverts on the tee-vee tellin’ us to switch light bulbs off an’ how we don’t have to flush the toilet (gross!) all the time?
Well why is it OK for people to dress their houses up in kilowatts of energy-sappin’ electricity bulbs an’ leave them on all the time an’ that?
An’, right, why is it for these bulbs to be soooo gross an’ bad taste, like?
‘Cos I don’ know why it’s OK for this to be alright now but, like, it wasn’t OK last month and it won’t be OK next month.
Or the rest of the year?
See what I mean?

You forgot cutting trees. And buying all these non local presents that traveled from faraway to reach you or your store. And traveling yourself to visit your family.
Christmas really isn’t green.
We have new neighbours. And they have covered their house in flashing lighty crap. It’s really not endearing us to them.
I’m with you mate.
Not only is it an obscene use of electricity it’s a visual and cultural boil on the otherwise comely arse that is Christmas.
At the risk of being an utter snob, is there any correlation between the amount of bulbs on the outside of the house and the IQ and taste within?

Harry, I’m with you.
And yes there’s a link between the number of bulbs on the outside of a house and the (lack of) IQ and taste within.
