I heard someone on the radio saying we shouldnt be putting up Christmas lights because of global warming. We have just driven around tonight with our grandson looking at the christmas lights on display, especially the ones on the canals. The house in this photo is on the canal and has the most magnificant display of lights. We parked on a vacant lot opposite and people in the car next to us wished us a Merry Christmas - thats the spirit of lights and of Christmas - people wishing others well, even though they are perfect strangers.
