Christmas lights

osting after midnight again, but I’ve decided it doesn’t count as skipping a day as long as I haven’t been to bed yet.  Yeah, the logic is weak, but I’m allowed to make up the rules as I go along 🙂
The reason I’m posting so late is because Lytteltonwitch and I went out to Shands Road, on the outskirts of Christchurch, to see a house that does a seriously over-the-top Christmas lights display.  And of course, this being the southern hemisphere, and this being the solstice, it doesn’t get dark enough to properly appreciate the lights until well after 9.  So it was a very late night.  Well worth going though – really impressive (in a totally tacky way) and loads of fun.  Though so many people!
I tried taking some photos – it was impossible to capture the full spectacle though, especially in the crowds.  I think I got a few decent ones though.  Too tired to sort them through now though, so maybe in the morning.
