City light for Christmas

Back from subdued family festivities...
Quite a pleasure to live in the Netherlands, where on feast days the trains continue to run, as well as the trams, and people DO wish you A Merry Christmas...
Here in Amsterdam the city is dressed is pretty lights (I think they copied this from Torino's Luce dei Artisti...)

Above is the Utrechtse straat, quite close to where I live, festooned with light.
The wind, I should add, is bitter cold!

Goethe would have liked this... (Mehr Licht).
