Although the streets of Aberdeen are quiet in the early evening with little or no traffic, the Christmas lights switched on recently by Mayor Jafta, shine and twinkle brightly in the main business area. Sparkling lights flash in all the windows of the local shops and cafés as Christmas is about to be celebrated here in Aberdeen in the Karoo. Quite a few houses in and around the town are decorated with different coloured lights, featuring flashing outlines of reindeer, Father Christmas, bells and Christmas trees.
A house beautifully decorated with a wonderful assortment of lights in all shapes, sizes and colours, and which looked festive enough to put a real Christmas feeling into the heart, was that belonging to Mr Hannes Eyssen of Jackson Street, in Aberdeen.
