How exciting! I got up really early a couple of days ago (before the snow came) to get some milk for my sugar puffs and Monkey’s muesli, when I saw the men from the council putting the Christmas lights on the tree in the middle of the village.
What an exciting job……. bringing the joy of festive lights to the community and helping to light the way for Father Christmas on Christmas Eve.
I had high expectations of a goose bump moment when I went to revisit the tree later on, when it had gone dark …..
Hmmmmmmm , I think they have missed the mark a little, in the “Awe and Wonder” stakes, as the reality didn’t quite live up to the twinkling vision of festive magic and loveliness that I had imagined.
They say it's the thought that counts but these people have no idea. Better luck next time.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping to see a good display when I'm in the area next Friday - it looks like I shall be disappointed. :(
ReplyDeleteHowever, I suppose the spirit is still there!
