Snowmen and Christmas decorations in Tromsø
Here is a collection of snowmen and yule decorations found while walking around at the southern part of the Tromsø island.
This one is quite near our house

Some days later, with a fresh layer of snow, a cigar and a torch

This is very south of the island, captured on my walks towards Telegrafbukta and Sydspissen I found a couple of houses that was nicely decorated ... the nearest one seems to have put quite much effort into it.

Note that they even have a gnome and a lit candle at the backside of their mailboxes, to the far left of the photo. Ok, it's probably not a real candle ... I didn't investigate that part.

The day after, a candle has been added.

Here someone has an old Beetle car that has been lit up for the holiday season.

I was to write that the people in the first house had gone "all in" ... but, no, here are some folks that really has gone "all in". Honestly, I think they've gone a bit too far - this is just getting too tacky for my taste.

This hairy one was found near to the town centre.

Same one, a bit later in the evening - and a moon.

Is it a Minecraft snowman, or is it a Frankenstein snowman?

What is that Santa drinking :)? Hope he's done his jog well this year.
I agree with you that the house that went all in with the lights is really too much. I think you can't even sleep good inside with that many lights. If that's the owner's passion for Christmas...what can I say?
Have a nice New Year's Eve and a great 2019!
Looks like wine to me - though, one should expect him to drink "gløgg", the Norwegian variant of gluhwine, though more often than not served as an non-alcoholic drink those days. However, as a hot drink, Gløgg is rarely served from a bottle, most often from a pot.
At least, they were not blinking, and not that powerful - a curtain will likely block it out
Excellent photos of snowmen and cars.
Santa Claus is probably tired of going home and giving out gifts to children. So I decided to rest and celebrate the New Year.
