Hi everyone! How are you doing today?

 

Christmas is approaching fast! smiling

 

We'd love to see all the community members talking about lots of things related to this holiday period. We will be posting a discussion topic on this board every day from today onwards to celebrate 12 Days of Christmas.

 

Each topic will ask a question about your views/experiences related to this holiday. The last topic will be posted on Christmas Day, 25th of December.

 

Additionally... to get you into the Christmas spirit, we've decided to give one random lucky participant in each of our 12 Days of Christmas topics a little present from us: £15 Amazon voucher! smiling

We will announce the winners in the Christmas Day topic. If you win, you will also get a PM (private message here on the forum) from us with your gift voucher code.

 

Note that the competition is now closed, but feel free to still take part in the below discussions about the holiday period. slight_smile

On to the first topic of discussion:

We'd love to see your ideas for Christmas decorations! Please comment below with how (and if) you're decorating your house/garden for Christmas. Share some photos too if you can!

It's cuz photos on phones are "default" orientation in landscape.
When you upload some sites ignore the orientation tag on some devices (different tag names) and still position them in landscape this you get a sideways picture

Great thread guys! It's lovely to see all your decoration pictures and read about your acts of kindness over the festive period. smiling smiling smiling

 

I don't have any decorations up yet but earlier I was reading about a 90 year old artificial tree that was recently found in a garage!

As I am married to someone who worked all his life for the EMEB and Powergen, I have enough complaints from him about the lights I insist on putting up for Xmas...:smileytongue:
