In the midst of all the financial gloom and doom one thing which will lift the spirits of many people is the signs of impending celebration that is already transforming the shops and Garden Centres. It won't be long now before the Shopping Malls are in full swing with that great seasonal brightener --- Christmas Display.
There will be a myriad twinkling lights in the shop windows and many people will be sorting out their Christmas light displays for the fronts of their houses, each attempting, generally in a good-humoured manner, to out-do their neighbours when it comes to the sheer volume of lights used to create the display. For this reason I have decided to post a few pictures to inspire those who are considering to do this for the first time, or who perhaps were less than satisfied with last year's results, so here they are:
No concerns about saving energy at these houses!
Just in case you need transport to travel around the various sites of these brightly lit homes, here is just the vehicle for you to do it in style (though I'm not saying what style!).
Whilst they make me sometimes smile they also often make me cringe! I don't think that I will ever be persuaded to join the Christmas Light House Decoraters, but I have to admit that they can be fun. Of course, most of them have nothing whatsoever to do with the real meaning of Christmas, but if all they do is remind us of that then they will have served a useful purpose, maybe even reminding people what the real reason for the season is, the coming of Jesus Christ into the world in order ultimately to offer mankind a way to be reconciled to God the Father through the forgivenes of sins following repentance.

Hi Rev. Colin, very nice pics of Christmas decorations! Can't find decorations as beautiful as in your pics at homes over here where I am. But those at shopping malls in big cities are better.
