Lots of my neighbours have already put up their Christmas lights. A couple of houses opposite even resemble the Blackpool Illuminations, such is the extent of the lighting on their respective facades. My flat, on the other hand, is conspicuous for its lack of seasonal lighting. I may go to the Weihnachtsmarkt on Lindenplatz here in Weil tomorrow to shop around for something "Christmassy". Or I may just have a Glühwein instead.
