Christmas lights
I've heard people complaining about the Christmas lights adorning Irish houses in recent years. Well, I'm not one of them.
Maybe it's because I grew up in the US where such decorations were standard, but I like them. When I was a young kid in Queens, NY I loved it when my father used to take us on a tour of the neighborhood to see all the lights. For whatever reason, Italian New Yorkers were always the most outlandish and, to my brothers and me, the best when decorating their houses.
On Christmas Eve I drove around Bray, Shankill & Ballybrack so my kids could see all the lights. It was great. I think their favorite was the big projection of Santa on a house on the Veevay Road.
