The Christmas lights are lovely and so nice to see that shops make an effort with their windows so people can enjoy wandering around looking at them. The carolers were great too, that's another old tradition that I thought was sort of dying out. And great that there are people who love to decorate their homes, my neighbour across the road has a full size nativity lit up each night (there's a fullsize Santa with a digital countdown on the balcony, he caters for the secular Christmas crowd as well!) Our lit up Christmas tree in the window isn't quite at the same level!

Hey both, I know Rach watched this earlier but I’m just back from work and we’re watching this now. I love seeing how different places do their Christmas decorations and Scarborough is looking good. Lovely tree, nice window displays. Loving the Christmas Wonderland shop! Mmm churros. Good to see the event back in action after covid and storms. Really living the reindeer costume / puppet things and the chanting too. Got to love a Christmas fair. Bar…now we’re talking. Where’s the mulled wine? Nice work promoting Fair Share charity. I’m a sucker for groups of Carol singers! Un interesting fact of the day, we went to the field of the shepherds once in Bethlehem, where it’s claimed the shepherds washed their socks by night (or something like that). Living the residential lights; we were thinking of doing a video about that sort of thing. Love the attractions and light installations. Ho ho ho and merry Christmas to you both too. Loved this x

@GENerationXplorers 6 ай бұрын

wow, thats an amazing fact guys, never knew that! can just picture those shepherds doing that, undoubtedly the socks would dry in the morning sun (genius)! Sadly after watching the amazing art displays in Liverpool that are free for all on your video I couldn’t resist but end this one on a sour note. Typical of our Council the levelling up money here was spent on an expensive event which has closed off the towns favourite park. Looking forward to the festive content your channel will bring! 🍻

I love this time of year when all the lights are coming on There's a special feeling on a cold winter's day to see so many places lit up, gives you a lovely glow - like the Readybrek advert !😃, though you're too young to remember that haha. . All the shops seem to have participated, the fun fair and stalls seem popular, the harbour and people's gardens all looking wonderful. Great to see everone joining in with the festive spirt and also remembering tnose less fortunate. Christmas light switch on events are becoming so popular and even in my small town we have a parade with Santa, Mary & Joseph including donkey and 3 wise men on camels 🐫 - yes that's right real camels !!

Great video - it did look good and very festive! Nice of Scarborough Council to invest all that levelling up money in some new Christmas decorations.... yeah I can see why everyone is frustrated with them. In Hartlepool where I work, some of the levelling up money is going the local shopping centre which needs a boost, a health care academy, upgrades to the train station, repairing a derelict chapel to turn it into a hotel, some money for a construction training academy, and revitalising the harbour area but no fairy lights!

@GENerationXplorers 6 ай бұрын

that sounds a much better use of the money Andy. Our Council is absolutely useless. Back in October Rishi classed us with 46 other poor towns and cities as one of the places most needing in an improved high street. We have been granted a 20 million high street fund that will be rolled out over 20 years. my mind boggles trying to imagine what they will spend the first million on. the consultation fee to spend the levelling up money on putting an installation in the park and make people pay to see it cost £150,000. A £150,000 consultation fee? this Council is as crooked as they come..

@OutandaboutwithAndy 6 ай бұрын

@@GENerationXplorers I don't think there is much of an answer to the high street issue without diversifying the streets into other leisure opportunities, or banning e-commerce all together. Sunderland Council created Sunderland Bid which tries to rebuild the town centre into a more leisure focused area. Locals (on facebook) are very critical but but as an outsider I can see what they are trying to achieve. The high street as we know it is dead, some locals seem to think the council could have stopped Wilko closing - that was a national issue and a commercial one at that. In some respects I feel some pity for councils as they are often damned if the do and damned if they don't. Spending levelling up money on christmas lights is a step too far though.

You Europeans really do well with your Christmas lights. The houses that do the Christmas lights around here switched on this week. Makes our nightly dog walk a delight. A cynic might say Tescos is profiteering on the charitable giving. Where do the donations come from? Bought at Tescos? Excellent initiative though. The charities around here get hammered at Christmas time. There is so much need just for basic foodstuffs.

@GENerationXplorers 6 ай бұрын

Hi there Shane glad to hear your neighbours are to in the Christmas Spirit making your night time doggy walk a delight! All our supermarkets have big bins on the exits for shoppers to pop something in on the way out! They are always full, Tescos is just publishing this fact more we think! They probably do gain to profit if it gets more people in buying and donating! It’s always this time of year you get bombarded with charities every other advert on tv is a charity one! Have a great week ahead! 👍❤️

It’s been nice that it all got started nice and early, with most things in place for over two weeks now. from yesterday they are ramping up events by turning on a street per day with additional festivities, we are looking forward to seeing that. the park that is at the centre of the 1.2 million levelling up fund is causing some National controversy at the moment as its a £12.50 admission charge with a £3 administration fee on top to enter. there is little to see in there and the park provides essential access from one part of the town to the other or was a haven for families and dog walkers is now closed from 4pm. it just highlights how little our Council thinks of us. Still there is plenty to enjoy all around and the town centre is a much more attractive proposition to walk around at this time of year!

When other towns and cities are using their levelling up money to benefit all, to create an event that shuts our favourite park is unforgivable..

Hi Nick and Jill Thank you so much for bringing up holiday Spirits on December 1st wowow December? No wonder Amazon Prime started to send me boxes after boxes....ooops Did I order? hahaha It is such a traditional way to celebrate this beautiful season... Nick, well done filming and of course editing. I feel the warmth, family bonding, and joy. I really would love to know the origin of those creatures or dancing as Xmas spirit. Viking? Indigenes PPL in the UK?? haha No Idea. Bravooooo! Happy Holidays!!!

We can’t blame you Ms Kayak, there were some wonderful items discounted on Black Friday this year and, cough, cough, we have been receiving boxes after boxes ever since! the high street cannot compete! I would love to find out more about the stag/giraffe people there is a chance we might see them again, I shall be sure to ask!

Awesome video, super duper well done! 👌Whilst I can get into the Christmas spirit watching this, the lights, the shop fronts and the displays, I also get an eery gut feeling. What a LOT of money spent. Less is more? Or am I being a Scrooge. Just imagine what half the amount would have done to help families in need and still have a great Christmas feel. Wonder what the 'designer' of this plan cost? Oh yes I am being nit picky. To all those reveling in the Christmas Spirit, I'm not a doom thinker, more a realist. What happens after 1st January? How do the councils intend to upgrade, fill empty shops or redesign the way we 'use' the city centre in todays world? Just saying. Anyway: The Necessity Tree was awesome. So what if the supermarket who runs this profits? So do their staff ( keeping employed) and the suppliers of the goods. It's a (food)chain. I'm glad they put their energy into helping others and bringing awareness to the plight of those in need. Want to be part of the solution? Share, be aware, don't shop online and give generously. Happy Christmas everyone. 🌺🇳🇱🙋‍♀🇳🇿🩷🎄

Well if that doesn't put one in a Christmas mood nothing will. Very cheery and bright. We don't have a Christmas Fair anymore here. The city council is 'looking at renewal' and 'something more in line with today's population'. Hmmm. I'll be curious what we will have next year, or not! We have plenty of other places to choose from so that's what we do. Go elsewhere. HAve a great lead up time to Christmas. Stay warm. ☃🔥⭐ 🇳🇱🙋‍♀🇳🇿

That was so Christmassy, the council have spent a lot of money on this and it was lit up beautifully, loved the tunnel and all of the natural sounds including the carol singers :) So nice to see the little train and the reindeer, they were great. Good idea to have the food donation point there. The hotels looked so good with all of the decor and so did the houses. The harbour was done up so lovely and was my favourite part with all of the boats lit up. I wondered what you meant near the end about the spending that the residents werent happy about ? Was it the big amount of money in these lights ? Great video 👍~ Anna ❤

The lights in Peasholm Park, a park that is free usually throughout the rest of the year has had sections closed off and the council have chosen to charge £30 for a family of four to view the installations pricing out most families who normally use the park for free. Additionally, this installation was paid for using the leveling funds so the opinion in the town is that the council are just profiteering and completely out of touch.

@GENerationXplorers 6 ай бұрын

thanks Anna, to be fair the shop windows, street lights and wonderful Scarborough Sparkle always go ahead and are a similar standard each year. for this year the Council was granted 1.2 million extra to provide A Christmas Lights display. Where other towns and cities have spent the money on installations everyone can enjoy and benefit from for free our Council have sadly shut down our beloved park and are charging people £12.50 to enter with a £3 admission charge on top. There is not much to see in there with people that did pay saying that they had more fun in the lobby of Tescos than walking through the park! the event is now unattended save for the dozen or so Council workers that are paid to stop people getting in!

Even as a devolved council, the obscene prices charged for viewing the installations in Peasholm Park just shows how completely out of touch the council are with families who live in Scarborough. The fact that the installation was paid for using leveling up funds too just shows how little they truly care.

@GENerationXplorers 6 ай бұрын

Exactly! Sadly it’s the same bunch of cronies that made indecisions and poor decisions previously. when you compare how the levelling up money was spent here to how it has provided joy for millions for free in other towns and cities it really does show how little respect they have for us locals. All I see in passing now is a dozen or so Council workers protecting the park from people who would normally walk there. not many people opting to “enjoy” the festival of lights.

@BoomDoll 6 ай бұрын

@@GENerationXplorers The council have been getting away with consistent poor and detrimental decisions for decades. There has never been any accountability as those involved are only working towards their own interests. You will be hard pressed to find anyone in Scarborough when you mention the council who doesn't laugh pity you for expecting any competence from them. I hoped the devolution would improve the situation but we've replaced one problem with a team in north Allerton who cares even less.

WOW! I’m totally at a loss as what to say. At the beginning I watched with total distain at the ostentatious displays of lights and shops displaying atrocious wealth and exuberance. I thought to myself this surely can’t be a Nick & Jill film promoting the virtues of modern day capitalism. Then my blood pressure dropped when I saw the Tesco food campaign. Yes there are people sleeping tonight in freezing cold conditions who certainly don’t deserve to be in that situation. Every town and city is full of homeless people and I feel ashamed that I’m able to afford a nice warm flat and comfortable bed. Unfortunately we can’t ever change the sad situation we find ourselves in. I’m heading off to my bed now feeling depressed. I truly don’t know how to change today’s selfish society. 😡

ah thanks Mike, its a sad one, we didn’t really know how or where to go with this one. have to be honest it was rushed. but the British homeless situation? that’s been on our lips for the longest time. we really wanted to boss that but we got so confused. we got involved with people that were protesting against migrants in army camps at the same time homeless were being turfed out of hotels. couldn’t get a real handle on it, that being said millions of Brits are going hungry through food poverty and some of those are homeless whilst we house more illegal migrants than ever before. its a mindfield. we wont have any clear commentary on it until the next Government action or inaction..
