It's that time of year again when everyone is pulling out their great big boxes of outdoor Christmas lights and decorating their houses for all to see. As ever, some are just pure tack look it, whilst others show a little bit of class and actual decorative style. But NONE I've ever seen have been converted into a game. Yes ...
Dear Santa,
I've been a very very very good boy this year (accountability logs available on request). As I've been such a good boy, please please please please may I have a ride on the world's first commercial spacecraft - SpaceShipTwo - from Virgin Galactic for Christmas this year.

Now this is one way to buck the credit crunch this Christmas: pile up tons of lights and silly inflatable decorations on your (and our) front lawn and watch the leccy meter spin. This is the sight that adorns our front lawn courtesy of the people on the ground floor.
