Lights are not such a thing here, though some people do go all out. There's a famous display on Bath Ave in Dublin, close to where I used to live. I stole this picture from the newspaper but see the pipe in the foreground? You throw a donation in it for charity. He's collected £200,000 in 30 years! You know what they say about charity...it begins at home. He's likely having a comfortable old age.😉

They have a sponsor!! Wow, that is an operation.
There is no rhyme or reason to those decorations. No elegance. I like the chaos:))
I guess the Irish are trusting folk. I don't know if the charity pitch would be believed here.
Maybe you could give it a try😂😂
