Christmas lights in Milan

Christmas lighting in Italy is a big disappointment for those, like me, accustomed to more. The street decorations are paid for by the merchants on the streets and/or by the city, I'm told.

Since I'm out so little in the evenings, and never with my camera, they're downloaded from the cell phone, hence the less than brilliant resolution. I'll try to get myself out after dark--that's a sacrifice!--to get some snaps this year, just for you. (I said "I'll try....")
