Who needs a Christmas tree when the lights are on behind those beautiful stained glass windows. It was the Victorians via Prince Albert who started the tradition of decorated Christmas trees. Although I do prefer them outside with twinkling lights. Nothing nicer than an old Church with lights glowing in the darkness.

Lovely picture. I still think it would look better and brighter in the floodlights if the stonework was cleaned!
