The Xmas lights started going up around town the day after Halloween. McGill College is now decked out in all it’s Xmas finery and the campus is looking just as pretty.
Sadly my camera doesn’t do a good job in twilight conditions, but it still looks quite festive.
I tried to put our outdoor Xmas lights up last week, but sadly every single string of lights has stopped working. How does this happen? They were working fine when I took them off the trees last year and carefully stored them away. A few months later I get them out again and plug them in. Nothing. Not even a glimmer. After spending an hour or more wiggling and testing bulbs I threw in the towel. We may not have festive Xmas lights this year, unless we go out and buy more.
