    As someone who takes quick snaps all year round when I see random Christmas stuff I'm up for this.

    Damn it, passed a house this morning with a big wreath up between the ground and first floor of the house. I was driving to work and didn't have time to pull into the estate so didn't get a pic. Might have to go home that way this evening 😂

    Yeah, think it needs to be Christmas related really, winter isn't specific enough I'd have thought.

    Only points for one house? They were two different houses, out of the hundreds I walked past today. Doing a charity fundraiser walk for the month, took a new route today

    Strong start with 4 people so far raking up 10points each.

    February is prob best chance to rack up points compared to rest of Mar-Aug.

    Was on site with a client last Friday morning & they still had their decorations up in reception, but did have the boxes out to start taking them down, unfortunately I didn't have a chance to take a pic so no dice....
