Having spent Christmas and Boxing Day on my lonesome today I ventured out for the first time. My family are coming for lunch on Sunday. As I gave them food I'd got in for Xmas lunch, I needed fresh supplies.
My sister rang me later and we decided to go post-Christmas shopping. I was contemplating buying new outdoor lights as one set had stopped working - I went to have closer look and realises some bulbs seemed to be missing - I then realised the only bulbs still in place were a few broken ones - somebody had nicked my light bulbs! I cannot imagine someone going to such trouble to take all the bulbs, but they had. For some reason I found it extremely funny and get the giggles every time I think of it - What a cheek and what a lot of effort for so little gain...

The larcenists must have been dreaming of a white Christmas, but where on earth was it?

Perhaps a different coloured bulb arrangements, say, pink. I don't think blue would work, not for night sight lights. (coo, you try saying that sober!!)
Are you thinking of having an Epiphany on the 6th or 7th of January 09, just to be a little bit (un-)orthodox? Not sure what icon you would display for the purpose, St Nick or Wenceslas are borrowed by all and sundry, so, just a tad common I would say. All sorts of candles would be highly suitable.
