It is highly advisable when entering our Cul-de-sac at this time of the year to don one's shades for fear of permanent retinal damage. I do believe that the local power distribution centre pay special attention in case just one more magnificent pulsing reindeer or giant Father Christmas comes on line. At least in true Swiss style any flashing is very subtle, and only white lights are deemed to be acceptable. But the closer to the big day the Lumen's increase, and I'm convinced that the ambient temperature along our small lane will rise at least a degree, our own direct contribution to Global Warming.
At number 28 however we refuse to participate in this escalation and have limited ourselves to one (admittedly quite impressive) waterfall of lights on the valley side balcony with a couple of accompanying stars. Oh, and there is the recently added garland around the patio, but that's it.........perhaps after I've filled that bare patch on the other side of the patio, but then that is definitely it!
