All the mayors of France know it, the Christmas lights are, already in normal times, an inexhaustible reservoir of recriminations.
Between the aesthetic judgments on the chosen motifs, the jealousies between streets or districts, the novelties that annoy or the renewal that is slow, the subject is already sensitive.
And a few weeks before the deadline, it will become even more so with the energy crisis and the general obligation to attack sobriety.
Some have already taken the lead.
In Paris, the Champs-Elysées committee has just decided that the most beautiful avenue in the world will stop sparkling at 11:45 p.m., 2:15 a.m. earlier than usual.
In Strasbourg, the illuminations of the famous Christmas market are announced as "more sober".
In Toulouse, the decorations will turn on a week later and turn off a week earlier.
Mayors, converted to LED, are probably hesitating between the magic of Christmas and an invoice that will not be a gift.
And you?
tell you what you think
Would you like economical Christmas lights because "the essential is invisible to the eyes"? Will you cheer up your mayor if he makes everything sparkle? What do you choose between the magic of Christmas and money that is not magic? Will a sober Christmas affect your morale? And, at home, do you also plan to restrict the glare of young and old? Your opinion interests us, do not hesitate to give it to us in the form below. Your contributions will be used to write a “gift” article to enlighten elected officials. Thanks in advance.
