In the northern latitudes it is a joy to see people lighting up for the Christmas season. In Scotland there is an increasing habit to put lights in your house window maybe in the form of (battery operated) candles or strings of small white lights. I see the Scandinavian normal practice of doing this is now influencing this part of the world.
It seems more and more public places are being lit up too. And buildings get illuminated with images in the form of son et lumiere.
I was in Edinburgh last weekend for afternoon tea with the Canadian Ladies. My goodness has Princes Street ever improved! No more jack-hammers, barriers of fencing for holes being dug and rails being laid. Gone is the dust, the rubble and the noise!
