Yes I know it's plastic tat, as are most Christmas decorations. I won't see any Christmas decorations lit up as I don't walk after dark. I don't get wound up about what other people do. I buy minimal stuff when I shop. Steve buys shed loads of crap.
For me it's a case of "You do you, I'll do me ".
I get great pleasure in seeing people enjoying themselves whether it includes plastic crap or not.
Some of my neighbours seem to complain about so much, the garden, which should be a pleasure for everybody is frequently a source of complaints and stress.
They complain about the noise of the children from the nearby school, whereas I like to hear the children playing.
