Bright lights for Spidey

I've put up the Christmas lights early this year - about three weeks early. Not the tree, note. Just the multi-coloured rope of lights that are wound around the struts of the deck, and I must say they are a cheery addition in these sometimes sombre days, where opportunities for play are few and far between. This is always the busiest time of year, when we try to catch up with all the things that should have been more evenly spaced throughout the year; even more so in Cape Town, traditionally a laid-back town.
The best way to survive the festive season is not to get caught up in the commercial aspect, which will free you from the need to do last-minute Christmas gift shopping or stocking up on haunches of a variety of animals and birds for a gluttonous feast from which you will take until New Year to recover. How many curries can you eat in a week of leftovers? However, let me not put you off if this is what you are looking forward to! Each to his own, etc.
I personally prefer a small selection of extra special goodies for the Christmas Eve meal and a day off cooking on Christmas Day. How else can you experience peace and goodwill unless you are parked off under a tree in a deckchair in the company of friends and family, the most exercise being to open the fridge door?
Here are the lights. Bietjie bont, ne? Somewhere in between those poles, my little spider is valiantly weaving his web to catch supper. Do you think he will enjoy his new multi-coloured, disco-light environment?
