I think people are getting more into christmas lights now and most of it I think looks nice and cheerful on dull winter days but some of it is over the top. Then I am reminded how lucky we are that we live in a rich country and can afford to celebrate like this.yorkshire lassnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-15275422319240961352016-12-13T19:19:32.377+00:002016-12-13T19:19:32.377+00:00Also glad you are staying with Bugsy.

Good thoughts sent out to Bugsy, we have a 19 year old cat and monitor her health closely.

I'm afraid I loathe the garden lighted displays that some people erect in their gardens, although some folk donate to charity to do it which is admirable. Best wishes for Bugsy.

Most are bought in boxes and not a lot of thought goes into them. I tell everyone not to send them to me but there are a few people who still doggedly send them out each year. <br />Have been following your walks and loved reading about them, so many pretty places up there.<br />Briony<br />xcrafty cat cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251582085392890533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-65272019962944976382016-12-13T10:06:41.088+00:002016-12-13T10:06:41.088+00:00Lovely idea for cards.

Dollar stores (where I tend to buy what few cards I now send) didn't really exist back then.
