Christmas Lights

It's well after the 12th day now... come on... get rid of them.

No no no, those are EASTER decorations.
Or next years Diwali decorations.. (is it Diwali???)

It's Diwali, also known as "Festival of lights"

I just wondered if my spelling was correct ;-)

Couple of years ago they wanted to scrap "Christmas Holdiays" and replace them with "Festival of Lights" here. barmy.

I don't see any christmas light... :o(

yeah its embarassing still having the christmas wreath on the front door

They were going to change it to 'Wintermas' which had me excited as I thought they were talking about Winter-een-mas

Someone's a CAD fan!! ;)

Many cultures have their own way of celebrating at this time of year. Essentially the end of the year is a time for celebrating spiritual rebirth and sun gods.

It is all part of the rich tapestry of religion

but this isn't a religious site is it.

BTW they never did show in IE6. tough luck IE6ers.

Ah yes, sorry. That was exactly it!

Thanks Cygnus, was wondering why i couldn't see them :o)
