December is a month when many
residences crank up their electric bills, mainly because of illuminations and
decorations they place around their houses, besides the flickering lights on
many Christmas trees. I will share with you over the next few weeks some of
these decorations I witnessed in New York, mainly on Long Island. But today I
want to go back to my native Malta once again and post three photos I took,
showing various street lights decorated for the Christmas season. Normally
local towns and villages are responsible for their electric bills, but as
you can see, they add a lot of character to this festive season. Just as many
public Christmas trees in the USA are lit up just after Thanksgiving, the
festive season in Malta starts off right at the beginning of December, also
with the intention of boosting up business and encourage shoppers to star their
shopping early. But they stay on beyond the New Year, at least until the feast
of the Epiphany.
