Well, I guess it had to be expected, it's the 2nd of December and there ain't a Xmas light to be seen put up anywhere in this green town of ours...... To an extend it is understandable...... and I I would deem it appropriate to use the words uttered by the Great Paul Simon at the start of the Epic CONCERT in THE PARK performance..... "We wanted to have fireworks tonight, but they would'nt let us, so let's make our own fireworks!" ....... I have already noticed my neighbours across the street have strung up a few rope lights in their tree's ...... SPAR has also marked down their rope lights by 40% this year...... so all you Christmas nutters...... make your own fireworks.... this festive season.....

Sorry Mike and all you other street light fans; the cherry picker was out operation awaiting its new licence... then I took it away to Elizabeth Bay for the weekend.
OTMCo's boytjies are eagerly waiting for it so that the streets of Omund can once again be festively lit and help us forget about the depression for a while... prozac anyone?
Wish they would get rid of all the weeds growing on the edges of the roads first.
Leave them there for now... we may need to set them alight for alternative festive street lighting IF OTMCo don't deliver...

They did...?
Didn't even notice the difference...
In the old school!! the Xmas lights came down 12 days after Xmas ...........that's the 6th January the end of Xmas celebrations............................
The Twelve Days of Christmas is probably the most misunderstood part of the church year among Christians who are not part of liturgical church traditions. Contrary to much popular belief, these are not the twelve days before Christmas, but in most of the Western Church are the twelve days from Christmas until the beginning of Epiphany (January 6th; the 12 days count from December 25th until January 5th). In some traditions, the first day of Christmas begins on the evening of December 25th with the following day considered the First Day of Christmas (December 26th). In these traditions, the twelve days begin December 26 and include Epiphany on January 6.
So all them Bloody shops that start Xmas in September should p*** off

Woolies have already got there hot cross buns in the stores................. 36_1_711
The big stores have tried it on for the last few years in our winter!!........... by saying Xmas in July, not so bad here we don't get snow woo hoo !! Hot(1) image04
My observation of Woolies here is hot cross buns are on offer many times during the year ... their quality is pretty Ok most times , and they make a nice treat sliced in half lightly toated and buttered ... yummy ... but yes the early Christmas opportunists ... arse
Those Woolies buns,yes I've noticed them all year as well except I think they call them spiced buns or something like that then at Easter they called Hot Cross Buns.
Lekker sunday morning treat ...
