It's becoming more and more common here too. We do have a bit of a tendency to copy America though

The lights are a bit silly here because it's the middle of summer so you only get to see them late at night.
We also find that some leave their lights up well past Christmas, for Chinese New Year.

There is a house in a hamlet called Horningtops , near to us , their decs never come down , honestly they dont , there is tinsel and paperchains round the windows all year round x
So different, as it's dark here by around 4:30ishPM (still at work!!) so the lights are so helpful for dog walking! Neighbours have complained that our lights weren't on when they walked past to look and it's because we aren't home from work yet!

Actually it was yesterday. I met a chap with three dogs, a spaniel, an collie and an 8 YO chocolate Lab. Holly and the lab had a lovely Labby greeting.
All three of the dogs were rescue dogs. He only acquired the Lab in September and it didn't know how to do off-lead walks. For the first few weeks it was reluctant to go into the woods, but the other two dogs gave it a bit of confidence and it's now happy to trot through the trees near its owner.
While we were talking the spaniel introduce it to the joys of rolling in fox poo. The guy just shrugged and said ' well thats another first for him.... '. I like his attitude.

Last night at 10 pm somebody was poking at our letter box. My OH went to open the door to see who was messing around and next thing I have Hunter's best friend Max (chocco Lab) speeding at me in the kitchen..until he met Hunter. Max had pulled so hard that Sander(his owner) couldn't hold him! It was utter chaos and we nearly "lost" the Christmas tree!
I had to smile and chuckle at the chocolate nutters.

Tee hee! Well done you! Tee hee!
Perhaps it’s fully trained now?! (Unlike the owner...)
Yep that will be why
Hope you love the photo Phil 
Iver has locked himself in the kitchen again. Good me and Rory have had enough of the little beast we're hiding on the sofa
Cut the boys walk short today as the weather was horrible (yes, even in Norfolk), so I decided to give them the entire toy box to play with - Ripple picked out a toy he wanted then CLIMBED INTO THE TOY BOX sitting on all the other toys so Toffee couldn’t have anything 
. I had to laugh at the inventiveness of that dog

Actually I don’t know why I didn’t take a photo, although I don’t think any photo could have done justice to the look on poor Toffee's face
