House outside xmas lights tacky or nice? (1 Viewer)

[cranky]

Both, our neighbour over the road has one tree done very tastefully and it looks great, and a chap at the end of our street has gone ott, covering the front of his house (even the roof) a complete manger set up in the front garden and loads of those light up reindeer shape things...... but there was an article in the local paper saying there is also a collection box for our local hospice next to his front gate, tacky as it is my 2 yr old grandson loves it and insists i take him down the street every night so he can see it before bedtime, i for one will be putting a donation in the box. its only for a few weeks every year and it raises a few quid for charity :thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:

We had one near us that used to raise money for our childrens hospice.It became quite an attraction and raised thousands of pounds but had to stop because his neighbors complained so much.
