I've been struck by the almost complete absence of festive decorations in people's windows. It's not a local phenomenon either as it's identical everywhere I've visited in the past few weeks. Yesterday in Tonypandy I didn't see any at all.
Is it similar where you are? :xmassherlock:

Electricity prices have skyrocketed in the last decade , think people these days are worried about the cost of having the whole house and garden lit up night after night for a month or so. Definitely a lot less here in Barry than there used to be.
It’s still a bit early isn’t it? This weekend is when we will put the tree up
Plans currently being made for a NY trip but not for xmas though!!! but to answer the OP yes, not even heard Merry Christmas everybody yet!! it's just a week off work now, it's the climate change brigade, peoples don't want to be seem expanding their carbon footprint lighting the street up, great excuse now not to buy any cards, presents will have no wrapping paper, no Decos or a tree :-)Quote:

The people of the US spend $6Billion on Christmas decorations. And people drive around different neighborhoods to see the lights on certain houses.Quote:
