@jstevenyork It does make it feel more special though when the time comes around to put them up and turn them on again. I think maybe the low comes from there still being a lot of long dark nights of winter left and the lights (if not done too much) add a touch of magic and warmth. So seems darker for a while without them.

I live on the Oregon coast, where winters can be long, dark, and wet. For years, businesses would put up lights on their storefronts and buildings and many left them up until spring, which I found quite comforting. This year, not as much decorating going on it seems, business or home, which is disappointing.

I hadn't noticed as much here in the UK as in previous years. With electric lights the cost of living crisis and energy price rises may well have had something to do with that.
