It's Christmas again - I wish they'd tell you it was coming so it didn't catch you by surprise every time. Perhaps the shops could help by displaying Christmas merchandise or something.
Many houses have decorative lights in the windows or gardens - I thought they were going to put a stop to all that; but no, they haven't of course.
Bloody politicians, they never keep their promises.
The strange thing is that so many lights are either blue or white this year. Very cold LED lights. Christmas lights used to be red, orange and yellow to reflect the cheery glow of an open fire to brighten the bleak wintertime. So why have they all turned blue?
Does it reflect a shift in our conciousness? Have our brains all turned digital from messing about with computers and mobile phones and so on? I never use them myself but a lot of people do, including some prominent politicians and media people*.
Please send me a postcard with your answer. There'll be a £10 book token for the first correct entry selected.
I would have put some pictures of these blue lights here but a) they're not very nice and b) it's cold and dark outside and I don't want to go out.

Oo er. I've just realised this blog is cold and blue and white.
And it's on a computer too.
Damn!
book token eh! I remember those. We kept them on the gramophone next to the wireless.
Come to think of it, there's not many Christmas lights at all this year.
