Personally, I love driving around looking at the Christmas lights every December.<br /><br />The real grinches are the State Government and the greedy energy departments what are raising the prices by 64%, that no-one in their right mind will want to bear the costs during the jolly season. Or any other time for that matter.<br /><br />Never been a big New Years nut though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554982014255874668.post-8976397494192156772010-01-05T21:33:21.487+11:002010-01-05T21:33:21.487+11:00Love the TV CGI idea.

I only remember being rude to adults once - when my older brother and his mate Nigel showed me some rude graffiti on the wall and made me go around shouting it out at adults. That worked well until I accidentally did it to a teacher. I got pulled aside by the headmaster after assembly the next day, and I was absolutely shamefaced and repentant. <br /><br />I remember firecracker night, it was a blast, literally and figuratively. Then I remember when firecracker night was banned and we all had fun going about grizzling about governments who ban firecracker nights.TimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333303180015967125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554982014255874668.post-15764190539127528922009-12-11T00:41:24.001+11:002009-12-11T00:41:24.001+11:00Good to read that I'm not the only Grinch that...Good to read that I'm not the only Grinch that hates fireworks and the waste of money. I'm old enough to remember bonfire nights which terrified me. The boys used to throw these little exploding things under my feet, horrible. Tim T would probably be an expert on these.JahTehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02007730071564639411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554982014255874668.post-65600722162122323762009-12-06T22:04:09.594+11:002009-12-06T22:04:09.594+11:00I think you might find there are many people who t...I think you might find there are many people who think similarly to you Maria. Xmas and New Years tends to throw society into mass madness for a few weeks.<br /><br />Best just to ride it out.Dan the VespaManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06030726293263201926noreply@blogger.com
