The lights are on

Not only the lights on our neighbor's house but also festive lights in Ljubljana are on. The time of the crowds in shops has begun. Yesterday I could hardly find a parking place when I went to the course. Although I left home earlier than any time before because I wanted to stroll through the illuminated city center.I noticed this object at the course:
It is made of styrofoam, glass beads and sewing pins. It probably takes some time to make one but it looks very festive. I am not sure I will make some myself but if you wish, you could try to make one. I guess it is important that the styrofoam ball is big enough, so that all those pins could be stuck into it. This one was about 10cm in diameter.

Today I will put another thick curtain on my window, because I wish to sleep tight again with all those lights on at neighbor's, and in the evening I have to be present at the lecture with very meaningful title: How the light pollution affects animals. Sounds interesting, especially at this time of a year. Btw, I am one of those people who turn the lights that we don't need, off.
