Lets face it - 2020 has been rather rubbish for all of us and I wanted to do something to bring a little cheer to one lucky individual so thanks to Twinkly I have a string of lights to give away to hopefully make somebody's Christmas a little better (worth $130.00).

 

For those interested, I've also done a little review here: https://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=23413

 

So, if you'd like a chance to win a string of potentially the nicest Christmas Lights currently on the market I'd like to see your Christmas Tree along with your favorite ornament. Get creative and have a bit of fun. Upload a photo, include pets or Children (or spirited children) and as usual don't just do a Google Image Search (Santa always knows!). I'll do a draw on Wednesday the 16th of December and will send you out some lights.

 

For me, my favorite ornament has to be the one that @JohnK sent me:

 

 

Because of this, I'm employing John to be my judge!

Budweiser Light has definite diuretic effect - especially if you down a string of ‘em. Aka twinkly Bud Lights. (I know - this is not intended to be a competition entry).

This is our tree...it's not real, but it's real enough for us hayfever sufferers! 

 

Note the beautifully handcrafted Mr Hankey Xmas decoration courtesy of my eldest son...

What about people who have neither children nor pets? Are they disadvantaged?

If you have a Christmas Tree then you're the child at heart.

My fave ornaments. Spiderman plays the theme tune, and Joker has a few things to say.

Oooh, I love Christmas lights, and I've been drooling over Twinkly for a couple of years.

 

Here's this years tree (same as last years, might still get a real one in the next week or so):

 

 

We decided not to bling it up too much this year, but this ornament is compulsory. SWMBO bought it at Buckingham Palace a couple of years ago.

Our tree is looking a little blue - new smart lights would help a lot!
