My kinda town

Wandering around the residential streets of Chicago makes me realise that Americans obviously have no concept of the 12 days of Christmas.

Just to remind you, the 12 days of Christmas is from Christmas Day to the eve of Epiphany, which is on January 6th (everyone knows that!). So according to my (George Bushisms) calendar, 12 days ends on January 5th.

Of course what also must happen by the end of the 12 days is that you take your bloody Christmas decorations and tree down. Otherwise as we all know something nasty will happen.

Oh no, not in America. The lazy bastards keep the dec's up. Lights are wrapped around trees, reef's hang on front doors, snowflake lights twinkle in windows and stockings hang on bed posts!

Oi, Christmas has finished? Get over it. Move on, take the fucking tinsel down and put it back in the loft like normal people!

Here are photographs I took of two houses side by side in Lincoln Park, Chicago on Sunday:
I nearly knocked at the door and sung them a carol.
