Season of lights

Well, the house is decorated and the presents are bought. Not wrapped, I admit, but there has to be something left to do. Would you like to see our pretty lights? There's a tree outside the door - well, not actually a tree. It's a bamboo plant support but it holds lights.

Then as you come into the house, you see the lights round the arch between the front and back halls.

They take only a few minutes to put up, unlike a tree, and give good value.

Then you proceed into the back hall and

 then into the sitting room.

And there's the labour-intensive tree, overloaded with elderly decorations and soon to be demolished, I imagine, by our peachy Littlest Granddaughter, who arrives on Thursday. I can't wait!
