I promised Ash that I would try and get some pictures up regarding the types of decorating that some people here do to make it all the more festive. Ted, being the sweetheart that he is, took me all around a couple of nearby neighbourhood on 24/12/2006, hunting for houses whose homeowners took the effort to decorate their homes. There were so few that these were pretty much all that we managed to get! Even so, Ted’s efforts in showing me and taking the time to drive me around in search for these decorations are very much appreaciated. :love:
Without further ado, I give to you……Christmas in my new hood. 
Note : The explainations are in my flickr account - sorry I didnt add any in here. Forgot. :whistling:
Decorated Townhall - the Mayor of Parramatta’s office.
I couldn’t find a waving Santa for Ash but I found one which was large enough, on the balcony.
And the winner is………..
This takes the cake and my personal favourite!! A standing ovation to the owners of this home. A job well done!! :applause:
O this is just an addition, a somewhat bored looking Santa waiting for kids to come sit pn his lap. :hehe:
Here’s wishing you all a very blessed and merry Christmas! May you spend it amongst loved ones and that the good Lord bless you in everyway possible and keep you in His love always. :love:
