Is his house covered in Santa's?

I have a neighbour who leaves her lights up all year round but they're just simple ones along the roof edge and around her porch so you don't really notice them when they're not switched on the rest of the year.

Pretty much. He even has the gigantic blow up snowmen and stuff right on his roof (though obviously they are flat when not turned on). Some of them arent noticeable when not on, but a lot are and hes never had one complaint.

He does his house like that because he lives right in the middle of the high street...and gateshead council are seriously **** with the xmas lights..you are lucky to get a piddly couple down the whole street and even then they tend to blow in a few days. So his house is kinda...the xmas spirit of the whole town.
