One Armidale's traditions is for many homes to decorate themselves with Christmas lights. OK, the purists among you will object that homes can't decorate themselves, but you know what I mean. And, the best display I've ever seen popped up just a 100m from where we live. Have a look at this cornucopia of lighting, which must cost a fortune to run.
The home is just an ordinary weatherboard dwelling on a busy street corner, but the time taken to assemble the display took a long time and great creativity. There was even an illuminated bin on the kerb outside - not pictured here - where citizens could leave gifts for disadvantaged people!
Seeing this lighting reminded me that a week ago I saw the unveiling of the town's synthetic Christmas tree in the main shopping Mall - except that when we there it was still daylight. So I drove another kilometre to the town centre to witness it in all its after-dark glory . Many people dislike it and pine for a traditional 'tree', but for me it was rather pleasant and innovative. Anyway, have a look and make up your mind.
