    nope, but i have a set on the back of my backpack for cycling...its a string of 20 red LEDs I got in my stocking, they're from habitat.
    plus i move between my houses so haven't got round to decorating the one I'm gona spend xmas in...

    Please, Don't ask for that one 'as a desktop'...its really not worth wasting your time asking, unless you're able to pay £££?

    We normally just go for a tree (real one) which we havent got yet.
    Saw the B&Q advert for the stupidely large inflatable santa @ £65.
    Tempted to get one just to piss people off...lol
    Might change my screen saver to the snow one.
    And put the cards on the mantel piece.
    That'll be about it i think

    yeah don't worry, its cold out,and as any self respecting bloke knows - wait 'til it gets warm again - they'll come back down.

    i put the tree up the night before last as a suprise for my mom as she said she didnt knwo when theyd get done becuase she didnt have time to do them (too much work).

    Then they called her in at the hospital to work through the night, so thats when i pounced !

    I was up till 6am (as i am usually, just not near a comp (what a strange feeling that was)) and got the mighty sum of 4 hours sleep.

    bah humbug.

    Christmas comes too early... I will be making sure the Xmas decorations dont go up before the 15th of December.

    earlier than 10 days before Xmas is just sick, wrong and pointless..

    I've always been told you put them up 12 days before christmas (12th dec) and then take them down 12 days after (jan 5th)

    Thats when my tiny optical christmas tree goes up anyway..

    "Mmm... I want you for my wife!"
    "Autom...Sprow...Canna...Tik banna...Sandwol...But no sera smee?"
    "Of course you can. We would love for you to join us."
