Its beginning to look a lot like christmas

This is my attempt of Xmas . I really wanted a real tree this year but they are so expensive , i went to b&q with the intention of buying a real Xmas tree until i saw the price tag , £80 blooming squid !  JOG ON ! not a chance and the tree didn't even smell like Xmas bah humbug. I looked at the artificial trees , there was a great selection but they were all just too big  or they were cheapo anorexic looking trees ;-( . I was just about to leave when i saw this skinny ,tall  black pop up tree upon further investigation i found it came fully decorated and pre lit all for £40 ,what a good price ! time you buy lights and decorations i know i would of spent well over £40 , I'm really happy with my skinny Xmas tree .

 now below is a local mans attempt of Xmas ! !!!

I feel all inadequate !! . The is a house in Cwmbran , even thou i have moved away from Cwmbran i  packed the kids in the car and travelled down to see the Christmas House as we call it . Every year Mr Cullen  and his wife invite people from near and far to come and enjoy the display , the kids can explore the garden and the Cullens are happy to answer your questions ie how long does it take you to set all this up ? if your wondering it takes him 3 weeks ! its amazing considering this man is near 70 years old ! The best part is that Mr cullen has a uncanny resemblance to Santa claus himself !

 Its just amazing ! The lights are switched on between 5-9pm up until new years eve . If you are local head up to Jule road , Fairwater ,Cwmbran .  The local newspaper ran a story about the couple read it here .
