Okay… I have to admit… I have had a long standing protest. Here in the States we power up the Christmas Tree somewhere close to Thanksgiving. Outdoor lights are around the same time. But come Christmas – – they go off. Winter – the most depressing time of the year has just started and all the bright happy things are suddenly gone. It makes the mood even gloomier with it being so dark. People shuffling around knowing they have (once again) of drawn their credit card and are forcing themselves to work to try and pay it off before next Christmas! If we are going to try and cheer each other up in this horrible year – let’s turn the lights on and keep them on as long as we are able. I know… that might mean we finally turn off the strings of lights around Valentines Day. But wouldn’t it improve next year? Just a little???
