    The last time the world faced a crisis on this scale we were obliged to have a "Black Out"! This time just to brighten up these dark times I think we should have a "LIGHT UP"! So I am breaking out the Christmas lights and lighting up the outside of the house as a beacon of hope for the future and just to bring a bit of cheer and make people smile. Please feel free to follow suit and to share this any way you can! Let's try and "LIGHT UP" our darkest hour!

    Thanks for the support! I am in the very enviable position, in all this turmoil, of not having "dwindling funds" but do know a lot of people in that position. I would not ask any person to follow my suggestion who is in any way financially stretched, it is merely a suggestion to brighten up this gloomy time. This post has been shared on many different plarforms, nation wide, and this is the only negative comment I have received. I should have realised that this would have been the case. I'm guessing you don't have a shortage of toilet rolls!

    Bah Humbug times a trillion. Christmas lights on the outside of houses annoy the nads off me at Christmas so please don't.

    I thought it was bad luck if you took them down after 12th Night.
