Chrismas Lights

[Bobbie En Tejas]

The wee toon must be as boring as I remember, perhaps more so, when people are getting exited about Christmas lights.

It is not just small towns in Scotland, Swelter. It is small and large cities all over the world who have festive seasons who get into the spirit. It is tradition and community that brings people together for these things. San Antonio is known for their Christmas lights on the River Walk. They have a huge river parade, in which thousands of people from San Antonio crowd the shores (the river is only as wide as a street) and are there to watch the turning on of the lights. It means something. I think if you look around, you will find that there is much worse to say about a town who has lost all interest than one whose people are excited about something that brings them together. May your lights be beautiful.

This is nothing to do with CCC. Just a wonderful community event with Campbeltown doing what it does best.

Actually the offensive part is yet again the anonymous posters who haven't the guts or the courage to use their own names sniping at someone who has.

And yes, scallywag was in my class. Noticed a few spelling mistakes in your postings, Sweltered. Were you in my class too?

[Sweltered]

Yes Nancie I was.

In response to all the replies my opinion is the same ; and i will say this if i moved out of campbeltown my memorys wouldnt be boring; and so we havent got what big towns and cities have but we make the best of what weve got AND THAT SEPARATES THE BEST FROM ALL THE REST

Now now Bubbly. You know you weren't in my class, you're far too old. Actually won't be in the Town Hall that night helping to look after the kids as I will be away on holiday. You could always volunteer to go in my place.

Bah humbug, cancel Christmas............... only kidding

The Christmas lights get better every year, also the switch on starts the count down to Christmas. A time when families get re-united, you don't need to go to work (well most of us) Christmas dinner, the odd festive tipple and giving presents. I may get older each year, but so do the kids which means better toys each year and of course I have to test out the toys for them.....

There can't be many more occasions when 1000's of people turn out on the streets of Campbeltown, no matter what the weather.
I love Christmas, should make it an annual event

the odd festive tipple

Yeah, just the odd one.

Are you sure Nancie, that would have been back in the days when you were in your "prime".

I see the council are currently putting up railings in Main Street, presumably to keep the screaming hordes back from the parade.

Must be someone REALLY important switching them on this year.

That was my first thought.
Apparently it's for health and safety reasons, yet more new regulations since last year


Or maybe it really is somebody famous.
Sssshhhhh don't tell anyone it's Robbie Williams...................allegedly

Of down the street the noo to see the lights comin on

[kbm]

You can let me know which big celeb switched on the lights this year. Heard a rumour but don't want to let the cat out the bag!! Kevin fae Scotsport could have done it!!!

[campbeltownx]

Who switched on the wee toon lights? Was it spiderman again!! Jk

[Ross]

Think half the toon must have been out for this one, and the celeb for the switch on was batman and robin.
Parade was quality thanks to everyone who took part for all their efforts.




looks a bit familiar
