Those are the lights on the roof of the Tollhouse, there's another set up towards the top of Happy Valley, which are the damaged ones.

Are the Little Orme ones on?

They are.... looks lovely as ever.

I've noticed that a lot of the lights that were up last year are not up this year. Ones on the lamp posts by Palladium Taxi Rank, Town Hall lights, Bog Island toilets lights, Carlton roundabout palm tree lights....all missing.  :(

I believe they were all rented at extortionate rates, rather than purchased. I'm sure I published the rental costs of the individual lights on the old forum somewhere.

Good news, Wrex! The Town Hall now has some decorations on it and the blue icicles have returned to Bog Island toilets! Perhaps our constant raising of the Christmas lights issue is having some effect....

Some good ideas, Wrex. I would like to add:

5) Strings of coloured lights on the two trees outside the Library.

Do you think the lights should be a celebration to  Mithra? whom legend says, was incarnated into human form (as prophesized by Zarathustra) in 272 bc. Was born of a virgin, who was called the Mother of God. Mithra's birthday was celebrated December 25 and he was called “the light of the world.”  After teaching for 36 years, he ascended into heaven in 208 bc.

Walked through town last night, 2 out of the 3 strings of lights in Madoc Street were not working, and one in Upper Mostyn Street was off as well.

Good to see that the malfunctioning lights have been fixed today and the lights on the palm trees on the Carlton roundabout have finally been installed - better late than never!  :)
