Unlike the North America that I am used to, Christmas lights here did NOT go up on November 26th. In all honesty, I missed it quite a bit. I was told by people that the city lights wouldn't proabably even be turned on until mid-december!!! However, I went for a walk with one of the girls on Thursday and we saw a few shops already decorated. It was enchanting. Then, we came across a shop that was decked-out with Christmas decorations and the like, so we bought some lights. We hung them up. It made my week!!!
