Although I'd say that outdoor decorations are a relatively new thing for Ireland,certainly it's only been the last few years that they've really taken off in N Ireland. I remember outdoor decorations were more for business premises and were extremely expensive. Now the local Pound Shop sells outdoor lights. I still love driving past houses at night and seeing them lit up inside and out. In fact, I went past a house yesterday that still had it's decorations on it's roof from last year! :haha:
