Good Xmas illuminations

[wee quinnie]

Any fab Xmas illuminations locally, anyone would like to share with us all?

There is an interesting "installation" on Friern Rd. near the junction with Goodrich Road.

When you say installations, are you drawing attention to the frightfully working class displays of bad taste? If you are, then I'm afraid I've no 'fab' recommendations to offer.

I don't know if it's because they have more occasions to celebrate (being wealthy 'n' all), but the homeowners in Dulwich village seem to have a more reserved, yet charming Yuletide decorations and don't insist on 'pimping' their property to the point of wanton abandon. The tree is meant to be on the inside, if you know what I mean.

Then again, they probably don't drink Stella Artois either.

There's a house on Underhill (between Friern and Upland) that is lit up every year

The only conclusion I can draw from these gaudy beacons of deplorable taste is that serve as a reminder to Santa Claus not to forget them on his journey. This is because the occupants of these ostentatious nightmares had poor parents who spent their money on alcohol and lottery tickets instead of presents of any value for their children. So in adult life, after being so monsterously let down by an absent minded Father Christmas, they unveil the landing lights in the hope that Dasher and Prancer will spot them from on high.

Divs.

Don't think TM would spell monstrously with an 'e', but excellent employment of the word 'div', I thought.

"Don't think TM would spell monstrously with an 'e',"

I was just testing you, whoever you are.
