The festive season feels so more real when Christmas lights start shining. Our new neighborhood is aglow with Christmas lights now. Many households have gone to incredible lengths to decorate their homes and gardens, creating an impressive display of flashing color. Neptune Crescent is well worth a visit. I walked there last night with the twins, after Maggie had spotted a sign saying the lights at one particular house would be switched on that evening. I spoke to the owner, who said he does this every year and he welcomes visitors.
