lonely lights

Everyone likes the bright lights outside, i think more than they like me. Maybe its because they see me more often, and i cant shine as bright. The people say they want to see the lights in London, wherever that is. Must be nice for them. The children prefer staring out of the window rather than looking at me. 

Theres not that much different about me, i have 4 bright colours as well. And I make the whole tree shine

But its not all bad, i get to enjoy the music they listen to. I have a few favourite songs, they all talk about this thing called “Christmas”. Not too sure what that is. It sounds nice.

The worst thing of all is when they put me back up into the attic. Its too dark, you can’t see anything. I don’t think they like me as much as the outside lights, they only bring me down once a year. 

I’ve heard some rumours that people put up fairy lights around the house and leave them there for decoration. All year. Guess i didn’t get that lucky.
