The lights are up in the Quarter. They’ve gone for a jewellery theme again this year (same boring ones as last year). Clever little animated dots of light that seem to give no indication that they are meant to represent Christmas at all.

Is this a clever marketing ploy giving subliminal messages to visitors to push them to spend more or have they completely missed the point of Christmas?

What do you think? Do you prefer Christmas lights that look Christmassy and tacky or arty #arty designer type?
