Absolutely! Gotta have bling on the boat at Xmas! We helped start a trend at Puerto Solente, but I'm interested to see what the reaction will be in our new mooring at Sant Carles. Anyone seen crimbo lights there at Xmas?

s/y 'Esper' (us) have an on-going rivalry with s/y 'Divanty' in trying to out-chav each other. We won last year when we hoisted a 20m multi-coloured rope light up the mizzen We'll be moored up with them again this year in Rebak (Malaysia) and will of course be attempting to out-chav each other once more.

The more bling the merrier, we say!

You must post pictures so we can be the judge of that!

Lights run all the way around and up the mast, climbing Santa an obvious given! Now don't you all feel blessed that you're not in the same winter marina as us?

Nice flashing white ones. LEDs these days.

60 pretty red raspberry LED lights hung around the dodger.

BUT when I went for the big switch on last night only half the lights came on.

Anyone know how to fix a 110 volt 60 LED lamp string which has only half working.

In Port Vell Barcelona it used to be a free months lecy for the best lights.

I thought boats were an escape from this kind of stuff - can't stand the xmas bling onshore never mind off.
